My first one in Uganda. We had a very nice lunch at a local posh hotel in the Serena chain (Venus would be so jealous). We entertained the client (i.e., the Government of Uganda) and I met some very nice people. I had a nice chat with a gentlemen who appeared to be my senior (if that is possible) about the Amin years and how unpopular he was and always will be. There were some very challenging years after that regime as well. Things are pretty good here now in comparison.
There is a dinner party at the compound tonight hosted by Arben from Kosovo and I am looking forward to meeting some people. Apparently there will be some habesha food (remember, native Ethiopian) and that sits just fine with me. I was given the Luganda name for "ferenge" but already forgot it. Please stand by and I will get it again ...
