I am suffering from the fallout of working too much ... you remember that old cliche ... all work and no play -- affects the Oracle DBA. My stay in Uganda is going to be extended since the work at hand cannot be finished up by end of day tomorrow. I will be here probably throughout this week and maybe as late as a week Tuesday.
This will also give me some time to:
- start eating regularly again
- see some of Kampala
- do something other than work
- buy stuff
I switched rooms at the condo this morning for a better shower and lots of hot water. I stopped for breakfast at the coffee shop today and will continue to do that all week. The most number of people I saw on a motorcycle was 3; still far exceeded by the 5 I once saw in Hanoi. It's so weird driving on the other side of the road. I looked in a stopped car yesterday blocking our way into a building, and figured out the car was empty ... actually there was nobody in the passenger seat :).
Security everywhere is pretty tight here. Since the
July 2010 attack in Kampala, it has been beefed up big time I have been told. It will probably slacken a bit the further away we get from that date. They have mirrors to look under vehicles and it's ferenge not locals who get frisked even going into a shopping centre.
