kerssemakers I was googling to find out about a Kerssemakers living in Uganda in the 1960/70's who used to produce Serenade label 45 records. I am making a documentary in Uganda on the music scene of the 1970's and would want to know more about the involvement of a kerssemakers in the music industry. If your family is related, could you please contact me? Thank you.
Cats still got three legs, does pretty well jumping and walking though. And I'll agree the ideal guest house is anbit of a dive, might look for somewhere else to stay today.
SHOCKED!! :O This was the scariest blog you've done by farrr!! I'm glad siov was ok after the hit!! Misssing you guys even more after this if that is possible!, I hope you guys feel a lot better soon!! Really can't wait to see you!! Love you lots guys! xxxxxxxxxx
Timelapse can't believe you guys have met up already! though I spose you have been jetsetting for a while now...
try not to kill anything with that van! =D
:-) Katie, I love reading you blog, it's soooo good to here all your experiences. Glad your gettin' on OK. Will have to hire your services for travel advice, as I really, really want to do the Vietnam Scooter trip. Maybe I can persuade Gaz that we should save and do it as our honeymoon!!! :-) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Disgusting! Hi Katie and Helen,
How I would have loved to see Katie's sign language on the bus for "You're a disgusting man!"
Hope the rib eases soon and enjoy the luxury in Hong Kong - you can check if any of your Dad's old haunts are still there! Uncle J
Glad you enjoyed your trip and loved Vietnam. You are very kind and open minded. I mean, with the same experience as yours in Halong bay, many tourists would behave in ways different than yours. You are also so clever: a 'don't mess with me' face would never be a good way. Happy travel!
Kattiiieee! It's lenny! :) sounds like you're having a brilliant time, i was planning on going travelling next year but just found out i've got into Uni so that plan is going on hold for a few years! Speak soon hopefully xxxx
Good Advice Good Advice about talking to Ugandan Men, it's true our culture doesn't respect a woman's view as much as the man's view, however i think the more men in Uganda are exposed to challenging views from women whether foreign or ugandan, the more likely we, as a culture will move from the feeling that it is seen as disrespect to a ugandan man to being able to agree to disagree. Thanks for the advice.
*JOKES* "seeing as I'm unaware of what is and isn't cool anymore"
were you ever?
=P
haha, sorry, couldn't resist. And as much as my lecturer harps on about the impacts of it, the diving sounds cool =]
HAHA Honestly I think this entry made me laugh the most... seriously you should be in my brain imagining these things as i read them lol it's funny... trust me lol
4* hotel you guys are lucky.... probably a lot nicer than my uni room :P
xxx
Aptly named... I honestly had to stop reading and catch my breath after cracking up at 'red light district' =P I think you've made me laugh with almost every entry now, well done!
Hopefully you're enjoying it way more than I am =] heh (though reading this is a nice distraction from the mountain of work I'm not doing =D )
CRAZY KIDS It's mental how quickly your time is going, and so strange that Helen is now there with you!! Mental... just can't get my head around it! haha when you said about the tourists looking for a pedestrian crossing... I so had an image of you both with little backpacks running around :) Made me smile!!
Miss you lots!! XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lessons in life in Uganda I love your survival guide! It has obviously been quite a challenge being both muzungu and a girl in last 8 weeks! Hope things improve in Singapoo. XX
Warthogs Delighted to read your vastly entertaining blogs and chuffed you're having such an amazing time. Can't understand why sleeping next to loud and unpleasant warthogs was such an ordeal after all those times you've had to share a house with us Allens!
Hehe I love the image of you trailing potatoes down the road! ;]
Sounds like you're having an awesome time =]
but you better not moan about how boring England is when you get back! =P
Wow, really enjoying reading your blog. You're quite clearly a mentalist but I think it's great that your making a difference. Just make sure that you stay safe!x
aahh!! katie, I hope you feel better soon.
Thats really scary.
Miss you lots and hope you have fun and stay safe.
Theres crocs in the nile y'know!
