The Outgoing FK Fellows Threw Us a “Welcome to Uganda” Party and It Was Pretty Awesome! See the Pics

7 Things I Learned on My First Week of FK Exchange

1. Uganda truly is the Pearl of Africa - Such a beautiful country, very green, lots of fresh air in the capital city (Yes Nairobi, it is possible to have fresh air in a capital city). I stay in a very nice neighbourhood with a pleasant view and lots of friendly neighbors. 2. I have the best of friends in my FK colleagues based in Uganda. - It's been only a week but we've made an effort to visit each other and find out where each of us lives. We also have a very active whatsapp group and whenever they  don't hear from you they will make an effort to call you and find out if you're okay. Ps- The outgoing FK fellows In Uganda are throwing us a "Welcome to Uganda" party ...and no, you're not invited coz you're not cool like us 😉 3. Luganda (Language of Uganda) is very easy to learn - Thanks to my awesome tutor, I already know how to greet people, call for a taxi and even shop for basics at the local market. Webale nyoo mukwano 😄 4. Bananas,
