When you live in a different country for a while it is easy to stop noticing the things which are different are remarkable. Here are ten things we’ve seen in the last month that we wouldn’t expect to see at home:
People buying and eating live grass-hoppers at the market in town.
A man roller-blading up the hill on the main road through Kasese followed by a roller-blading apprentice.
Two bats flying around in our living room.
An owl perching on the electricity pole in the garden at dusk – probably hoping to catch some bats!
The pick-up we hired to buy timber and iron sheets which needed a reverse push-start before it could drive forwards.
A small girl at church copying the baby-carrying mamas by strapping an empty Sprite bottle to her back with a shawl.
Four adults on one motor-bike.
A herd of elephants under a massive rainbow viewed from a public main road.
A woman using a parasol under a hot sun in 30c + heat carrying a baby swaddled in numerous blankets and a woolly hat – and sweating profusely!
A cow crashing through a school fence and running into a classroom.
