oli otya?

Well as you may be able to tell i have started lugandan lessons out here. The question i asked you was how are you? and your answer is 'bulungi' which is fine, every one is always fine here, even if you are not you have to say i am fine first. There is a lot of emphasis on greeting people well, even in shops or on the street before you can ask anyone anything you have to say nice to see you? How are you? How is the day? How is home? and then can you ask where the toliets are!
One the girls that I live with Nina, she is in the picture of the mountain walk, that hands on our hips photo! She is leaving on saturday which will be sad as she has become a good friend and she is the one that has forced me to start running again. We having a big leaving party for her tomorrow with truly the best ugandan food round being cooked here at the house, I may even get a ugandan cooking lesson tomorow morning hopefully!

Hey Jess,

Glad to hear you're getting into the culture. All that talking must teach you to not wait until you really need the toilet before you go!

Sorry to hear a friend is leaving, but enjoy the party!
