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.

The Germanization of English!(maybe it could be easier if we all spoke this way!)

"The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility." As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible...
