My 2nd time in Uganda, the first time i ventured out from the hotel. Was determined to walk the african streets this time to see the colors close up. Got a drawn map from the hotel, woke up early the next day for my exploration. It was a really nice and interesting walk with sights and smells unlike most destinations i've been to so far. I remember sharing with a fellow crew member on my flight that somehow i find the colors in africa to be really bright and cheery. It seems that the light coming from the african skies have a good tendency to really bring out the colors more and magnify the amplitude of the hue-contrasts. Armed with my camera, me and an aussie mate i met on that flight put on our walking shoes , brought along our 84,000 of ugandian money and went for a walk in the muddy roads. Motor-cyclists whizzed by with ugandians cladded with bright clothings, birds of an extraodinary sizes swopped overhead and sometimes towards us. They were huge. Take my word for it. To me they were very much like dinosaurs birds or giant eagles. Your heart'll definitely skip a beat when they come flying at you!. Well, mine did! I must admit it was a little intimidating for us as they werent that many tourists on the roads and we passed what appears to be an african militant with a big AK 47 ( it looks like it) but maybe some other rifle type i dont know of. But looks like we made it safe to the craft village on an adjacent road couple of streets down from our hotel. On the way, we walked passed men on bicycles carrying fresh fruits to the market, ladies with baskets of food or fruits balanced on their head. The ugandians have a really gentle and friendly demeanor. Everywhere we went people greeted us with friendly smiles.
