About Smoking!

The taste of the cigarettes here are terrible. The best brand here is Dunhill, but each pack I got tasted differently. I assume it was because they took long to be sold so the flavour already altered by the time I got them. So if anyone preparing coming to Uganda, please do bring your own cigarettes with you! I have kept my hope alive of finding the perfect cigs here, but was disappointed each time by the new pack. The place I live is around twenty minutes' walking distance from the nearest place where I can get Dunhill. Otherwise, I have to live on Sportsman, a so-called luxury Ugandan brand and Rex. What is paradoxical is that whenever I was forced by laziness or unexpected incidence in life to smoke Sportsman, I had always need to smoke each cig with great disgust.

It's all about the sympathetic life of a smoker. Some of my colleagues told me to give up smoking, but whenever they saw me dropping an unfinished cigarette(what I mean by unfinished is not smoking to the very end of the cigarette), I was always told to finish it instead of wasting the money. I then argued that which one they cared the most-my life or the money I paid for the cigarette? I told them dropping an unfinished cig is by all means a positive act towards my life and lives of others. This has been an argument which would never end in Kazo. 

I'm so so hungry now(using double adverbs is a habit of the locals here, especially John! For instance, "this is So So sweet" and "it has been So So nice")! Because of getting late, breakfast cannot be found on the street. A typical Ugandan breakfast consist of Posho and Wrangles(the spelling of this word is not confirmed though I consulted with John who was not sure either. As soon as he saw me writing down his name here, he was too upset, so he wanted to look up this work in an dictionary. The problem is the word for a local food here will never be found in Oxford Dictionary) and possibly some other things. I have got used to having them each morning, though the combination of foods have rarely been changed. They are quite tasty when you are hungry! I'll post some photos of the local food here in the next day or two!
