1. Inhale Lake Victoria and say to myself “now this is the reaaaal Africa.”
2. Immigration officer tells me I’m cute and offers to kiss me.
3. Taxi driver attempts to fleece me for 10,000 Ush. Dissapointed when I say I arrived on the Air Uganda flight and not the KLM mothership.
4. Take in surroundings that consist of the “reaaaal Africa:” shanty-town-like stores, 10 pm bars with christmas lights and bass to knock your socks off, a boat load of banana trees.
5. Get dropped off at Backpackers. Sips of whiskey, a musician and a lot of red velvet chairs and sofas.
6. Morning run through smog, hilly streets, man-holes, banana trees and a road lined with universities and pre-schools.
Ah, now I am back “home.” Take that Nairobi.
