Debaixo de água. Tenho que confessar que não consigo acompanhar o ritmo dos escândalos em Portugal.

 Leave your comment‘There is a lot of stuff we don’t know. That does not make it nonexistent, it just makes us ignorant.’ My father used to tell me this, I guess rephrasing Socrates’ motto ‘all I know is that I know nothing’. January 21st, 2009 | Author: hugorila |
Leave your commentElliot, the porter we hired at Buhoma to help us cross the impenetrable forest, has been quiet all day. He does not want any food or water. ‘Sure?’ He is sure. January 21st, 2009 | Author: hugorila |
Leave your commentFor the first time in my life, as probably many other people, I watched the US presidential inauguration. Although I am in Uganda, I watched the inauguration among Americans.

Leave your commentIn Mbarara, a town with 250,000 inhabitants, there is only one place to go out at night. It is called Vision Empire and every week it offers three nights of fun and drinks. Wednesday is ladies night, Thursday is reggae night and Friday is whatever night. January 13th, 2009 | Author: hugorila |
Leave your commentKalo on the left, Posho on the right ‘You can’t manage that’, was the waiter’s comment on my order at City Top, a restaurant in Mbarara. I just ordered Kalo, which according to the waiter was a millet paste. I thought it was worth trying. He insisted: ‘that is not food for white people. Not even for [...] |
