I had to go to the Tanzanian High Commission this morning to get a visa for Zanzibar  (everything "official" seems to cost $50....) and thought I would take a few contrast photos. So;

The Garden City Shopping Mall

and shops on Namirembe Hill

and downtown

Rush hour in the leafy suburbs

and on the Jinja Road

  I managed to get myself lost this afternoon whilst walking down to the (not so local!)shops. Fortunately I have a Ugandan sim card and could call for directions but was getting rather tired of "Hello muzungu" every five minutes. ; I started to laugh at the thought of greeting people in London, "Hello black person". In fact it is a perfectly pleasant and acceptable greeting here. (Well, white person.)  

I was very pleased in a patriotic way to find the our CD plates are CD1 ; with other embassies taking the numbers after.  The Americans are CD2 !!  Apparently, with money, any number plate is OK. I have seen THE BOSS and YASSER on different cars so far.  Most people tend to drive 4WD simply because the roads are so awful.

Just because I like the photo I include one of the smiling faces of Uganda.
