Been Here Too Long-- Top 10


A friend, Heidi, and I compiled this handy reference
You’ve been in Uganda for too long……
10 When the only physical affection you get is with your 5 best friends in the back of a taxi.
9 when you know that empty motor vehicles indicate most reliable form of crop irrigation.
8 When you look both ways before crossing one- way streets…and sidewalks…. And it has saved your life.. multiple times
7 when your definition of a balanced diet involves three shades of starch
6 When 9pm is the new midnight and midnight is…. Unthinkable.
5 When you think of your funeral wishes every time you step onto a moving vehicle.
4 When you know that rice is detrimental to dental health but that using your teeth to open bottles isn’t.
3 When you long for speed bumps to be built.
2 When you think “Why go all the way to the toilet to pee when I have a bucket/ bush/ tree right here?”
1When you need your cell phone to pee.
