It’s been awhile. I have had internet and power problems. Sometimes it seems like certain aspects of Uganda harkens back to the 90’s, 80’s or 70’s. But even more than 50 years ago we did not have power outages as often as Bugiri has them.Keeps spoiling the milk in my fridge. ;-).
For Thanksgiving I passed on a big gathering of PCVs in the Southwest Corner of Uganda. Can’t leave Meowri until I have someone who can help out. It was also a 14 hour trip. So instead, I went with PCV Will to Endiro Coffee in Iganga (with free Wi-Fi) and took a practice version of the multiple choice part of the Foreign Service Exam. I had heard about this from a PCV who took it at the U S Embassy. She ends her service this month.
The first test is called “Job Knowledge” and it was mostly questions about history, civics, economics, and easy computer knowledge. I thought it was generally pretty easy. The next test is called “English Expression” . Essentially, in this test you are required to make corrections to the grammar in some writings. I did not do as well, but I think I would perform better in the future. It took me a while to get the hang of it. It still bothers me though. There were a couple of answers I did not agree with, but Will said those answers are now considered proper.
Overall, it was a fun experience. I think all of you would enjoy trying the tests. To me, it was way easier than Jeopardy. Seventy minutes total test time. Here is the link
After the test, we had lunch- no turkey on the menu. Then we took a hike to Pride Rock, near Iganga.
The big event of course, was the pope’s visit for 3 days. I watched some of the coverage from the TV in my office.

My brother asked if this was like Pride Rock in the Lion King. It kind of looks like it from this angle, although the cows tethered next to it would not last too long if there was pride of lions about.
I was pleased to accompany Sharon with her family when she checked into Nursing School. I met the vice- principal, who told me that the school places 97% of its graduates. Sharon is boarding here. She can’t leave campus, and can have visitors only on Sundays. Our first visit allowed will be next Sunday
We are now getting into the thick of the political campaigns. Some candidates hire men on stilts or tall unicycles to lead a parade.
It attracts a lot of kids too young to vote.
A bumper sticker that caught me eye. Sad that this is an issue in Uganda.
