last day in Kampala

This morning I said goodbye to Michelle, she's planning on being in
Nairobi in the next couple of weeks though, so she's gonna get in touch
and I'll try and show her around a bit.
I got into the museum and we kinda couldn't do much until Pretty (yes,
one of the girl's name's is Pretty) came back with the bags from Uchimi.
She bought 200 and we still ran out before the day was done. I left at
about 12.30 to go and exchange money and get my bus ticket from the
Akamba office. I was gone over 2 hours by the time I got back to the
museum. I met a guy called Prince who sat next to me on the matatu. He
was from Canada but he's working over here and all over Eastern Africa
at the moment, and looks totally thrilled about it all. Anyway, I had to
give him my email address before we parted. I was also planning on going
to an Indian place that Michelle had recommended but I went in and it
was too expensive, so I just caught the taxi back to the museum. Took
over half an hour though. They just kept stopping for ages trying to get
people on board. So when he asked for 700 when I got off (way after the
museum where I was supposed to be dropped) I laughed and gave him 500.
He wasn't surprised. Some other guy got so pissed off with the waiting
that he got off without paying halfway thru his journey and caught a
boda boda instead. I did not blame him.
Anyway, I returned to find that we were almost out of bags again, so
while a couple of the girls were finishing them off the rest of us moved
the empty boxes to the storeroom. Then I gave Pretty my email addy and
took a photo of them all. Then I went and spent some time in Jackie's
office typing up the catalogue until she came back. Then we discussed
stuff, and I promised to visit and try and return to Uganda soon, and
then I came back. It was gone 6.30 by the time I got back, so I went
straight to the market to buy my rolex. I also bought a couple of
chapatti for tomorrow's bus journey. I have tons of snacks and stuff to
eat along the way now. I also bought bananas, so I can have some for
breakfast too.

This evening I gave Sean my hard drive so he could steal some more
fillums, had a shower, played some pool, had a chat to Ceilidh on
bookface, and have generally been enjoying my last evening here. I also
found out that Claire is also doing her international politics phd from
Aberystwyth, and she's a good friend of Sarah's! So I'll have to call
Sarah tomorrow when I'm back in the country and tell her, as well as see
how she's doing. I've been a bit out of touch since being over here!

Argh, and now it's almost 11pm, and I think the internet is down again
so this update might also be a day delayed in posting.
