As I sat in an Italian café today in search of free internet after a morning interview, I had a chance to see how the other half lived. It reminded me when I exclaimed in shock that our rooms were cleaned for us in South Africa and my friend Bruce jokingly said, “welcome to the colonies mike.” Well, as much as I enjoyed seeing, how the other half lived, I think I will stick to my 2$ meals of matoke and beans.
Yesterday I made my way out to Uganda Martyrs university to meet with a theologian/ethicist named Peter Kanyandago. He gave me some really neat insights into his own experience and his thoughts on inculturation.
The most wonderful thing about Uganda is that it is safe to take the taxis. I still maintain a healthy suspicion that is left over from my time in south Africa, but I am gratefull for the freedom that comes with security.
