I will make this one my last of the day. At first the people insisted that I go to the front of the water line to get my water “before the bore hole dries today” I was resisting this. So they said, instead of coming at the end of the line at 7 a.m., come at 6 a.m. So now I put my Jerry can(s) in line, and then come back at 7 am. Today an elder said I have to pay 2,000 shillings per month for the privilege, which is the same as everyone. Adams said that is correct and on me, since the NGO doesn’t have to provide water or electricity. Ugh. This morning the man was only letting us get 1 1/2 Jerry cans. Between washing clothes and dishes, bucket bathing, boiling or sterilizing water to drink and brew tea, it doesn’t take long to go through a Jerry can And that is just for me. Imagine the water consumption for a family. It gives fresh perspective on this precious resource. Dry season is getting here more and more. The Jerry cans are 20 liters, which is 44 lbs.

Early Morning, Cold Taxi

Author: August 25, 2015

This is how we get between towns. The Taxis have four rows of 4-5 people behind the front row, everyone all crammed together, plus the conductor who is shown here trying to get passengers. IMAG1475With a back pack jammed on my lap, it’s not real comfortable. Best place is the front row with leg room and only three across. The taxi’s linger around until they are pretty jammed before leaving.

I took this a couple of months ago while it was still filling up. That’s the conductor in front of me.Sometimes you wind up on the crack between the fold up and bench seat.

Jam city. I am on the second row sitting second from left. Drivers are on the right side. That’s the conductor, practically sitting on the lap of the unseen lady to the left of me. It’s hard to show this photographically

A trip to PC Headquarters in Kampala last week (they will send a car to the stop) took me 3 1/2 hours to get there, 5 1/2 coming back.(Partly my fault because I was taking advantage of their free w-fi and stayed a bit too late, hitting traffic) It would be an hour on our road system. I was transferred to three different taxis before arriving at 9 p.m. You pay the first one when you transfer and somehow the conductors work it all out with each other. PC is unhappy when you are out after dark (sorry Meital if you read this) , but it was so cool to see the nightlife in the passing towns. Part of the adventure! I got out in a busy lighted intersection in Bugiri and plunged into the my neighborhood with my phone torch on, and was safely in my home within minutes. Whenever you stop in a town, vendors start shoving food through the window they want you to buy. Meat on sticks, bottled water, bags of crunchy carbs. I should have taken a picture of this. Sorry!

Potty talk

I don’t have running water so I share this pit latrine with my two neighbors. It’s on the left. The door on the right is for bucket bathing, although my stall is in my place

This one is kind of fancy because there are raised pads to place your feet. “Short calls” are easy for the guys of course. For “Long Calls” you squat like a catcher, reach down your front to the back and carefully pull the back of your pants forward. Make sure to secure your cell phones and wallet! Must be a real pain for women to gather their long skirts. My sister had the idea to convert a pit latrine into a western toilet by cutting a hole in one of those plastic chairs and taking it in there. The foot pads here would interfere with that plan however. It would also be too far from the hole. We had western toilets in my language learning site I would try to use, but now I don’t really have a choice. I have gotten used to it.

When I was growing up, during movies and TV shows my mom would often bring up the practical reality that the characters never seem to have to go to the bathroom. (King Kong on the Empire State Building “What if he has to go to the bathroom?”) Certainly there are some interesting aspects of going to the bathroom in Uganda, so mom, these next photos are dedicated to you!

One of the first things I read in another PCV blog after my invitation was “In Uganda, every fart is a gamble”. That is the sorry truth, made worse if you are crammed in a taxi. You never want to be caught without toilet paper. Some pit latrines in some places don’t have it. A PCV showed me this trick. Take a bunch of toilet paper, roll it up, and put it inside the cardboard roll. I always have this in my back pocket. Also a source of tissue for the occasional runny nose I have gotten here.

Relay

People have asked me about Skyping. A similar topic is streaming. With my current set-up, I use my smart phone as a hot spot for my computer, and also individually, which might be fine for Skype. The problem is twofold. First, data is expensive, I pay 125,000sh for 10 gigs which would normally take three months on my present usage. I turn off images on both my computer and phone to help. That’s why I like to take advantage of free wi-fi when I can. I get a living allowance of around 700,000sh/mo. (about $250 US). I am not inclined to personally supplement it, although I did exceed my move-in allowance a little bit. There are those who have a daddy to send extra, but I want to live at the PCV level. But I can make an exception for Rotary if they want to Skype during a meeting. Parents donate airtime for their kids at www.Sendairtime.com. If you want to contribute airtime I can convert to data, I will Skype with anyone. Actually it’s just $19.60 US for 50,000 shillings worth of airtime.That would be enough for a good chat. I know this make me seem cheap, but you don’t think in US Dollars much anymore, and it’s all relative. I am on Africell. I will give out my number privately.

The other problem is download and upload speed. It’s very slow in most places in Uganda. Here is a short video clip Harmony uploaded to Vimeo of the tech immersion group in Jinja. She said it took 5 hours to upload this one minute. The excellent video she put together of training is 5 minutes.

Do you have a moose on your meeting room https://unica-web.com/DEUTSCH/2018/about-blansko-de.html generic viagra online table? Here are a few symptoms: The real conversations happen in the hallways or office after the meeting.
But besides Skyping, I have another incentive: I want to stream Broncos games. Just to see how that might be, I tried streaming a concert from Red Rocks with my current setup a couple of weeks ago. I would get 4 seconds of video followed by 40 seconds of buffering. UGH But the cost of data drops to 2,500 per gig after midnight (still too late for Rotary). “Happy Night” they call it. One possible way around the streaming problem is for me to get a USB stick. Will bought one and he gets at least 3G. I haven’t been at 3G since I got here. He was able to Skype for an hour with his parents. So maybe I will get a stick. A USB stick is 60,000sh though. I will keep working on this.
