uganda part IV

since it is a sunday i had time to go to a different city with better internet. my aim is to update the blog up to today...which means uploading many pics, because i think many are worth showing!

i am still doing well...today exactely a month ago i arrived, but it feels much longer...and i have experienced so much!
in the last days i also ate some new food...enswa and grashoppers! grashoppers are fried, the people told me they taste sweet...i cant really prove that. they are not so big, have a straneg taste and i do not like it too much. but i was told that they were too fried...and since its now grashopper season i will get the chance to try others soon! but more spectacular were senswa. these are ants with big wings. one day i saw how a girl ate them - alive! i could not do it but thought i will take my next chance...and a few days ago i saw some kids gathering on the ground, with a lot of plastic. they covered holes where loads of enswa came out. they ledt the hole and wanted to fly -  but were caught before. and so i had to try as well...you hold them at the wings and bite off the head. its a bit strange, but ok. to me they did not have too much taste, but the kids had again the opinion they were sweet! anyways, it was the first anmals i ate on purpose alive!!

so see some more pics

isaac and claudia

 to isaac i always speak german...and he enjoys it a lot! he is always laughing when he hears it!

2 weeks ago i was in the capital, in kampala. to be honest it was the most boring big city i have visited in my life! but still some pictures are worth showing!

so i hope you are all doing well...people continue to keep me updated about your live...and thanks for the mails!!

jungs, euch viel spass in vegas...und ned alles verzocken!! dann geht sich mal a urlaub aus...
