Traffic and strange food

An interestnig title I know, but so far those are the two things that have been most interesting. It has taken a while to navigate the way traffic works around here. Taxis and cars never yeild to anything, boda bodas only yeild to taxis and cars, People yeild to everything. And the traffic here is quite intense. It's a good wake up call to step off the street corner and have a little motorcycle whizz in front of you and honk and yell "mizungu, mizungu!" which means white man basically (not considered derogatory). So you may be wondering what a boda boda is? Well it's the little motorcycle I talked about, sometimes with 3 adult passengers AND the driver. I'll give the background on their name sometime.

So the food also has been new. Wednesday night I tried some crocidile, yesterday afternoon we ate at an authentic Acholi restaurant using only our hands, very messy then last night was ethiopian. It's been good though.

I'm a little pressed for time now, but I'll try to get back later and post more.

Peace,
Matt
