Flight from London to Entebbe, Uganda

-i met a beautiful black baby, Michelle (4 months), she is ugandan and she smiled at me several times. 

-there was a "plane disturbance" by a man who was putting up a fight with those around him and cussing up a storm. some security came and demanded he "quit resisting" and the rest of the plan was instructed not to watch.  he was surrounded by 3 bald-headed british white men.  later, i saw him being interrogated with much shouting at the airport in entebbe.  also we had a four-hour delay in london. i slept through the delay. i was alright.

-i watched the Last King of Scotland (about uganda and Idi Amin), Flight of the Conchords and half of District 9 on the plane.  8 hours later we arrived in Uganda at 230 am.  i had chicken tikki marsala for dinner and a chicken salad sandwich for lunch. 

-there is only red, black and yellow in the flag of uganda.  no green. sorry meg.

-pulling out of the parking lot in the bus, i waved at a man with an AK47 - he waved back.  friends? probably. 

-spending the rest of the night at a convent not far from the airport.  sleeping under a mosquito net.
