This day many funny dishes are served in Ugandan homes, included our apartment. “The boys” Peter and Justus came to cook for us. We went to the market and bought vegetables and a live chicken. We got some banana leaves and I did my first chicken-murder. I stood on its feet and wings, ribbed the neck, and since we didn’t have any axe, I had to cut over the neck slowly and brutally with a knife.
But this was just a goodbye for two months. Im not looking forward to the real goodbyes. Good we still have 5 and a half months left in Uganda. Hope they dont run by too quickly.
Women in Uganda are allways busy. Not busy busy, hurry hurry, like stressed people in Norway, but they allways have something to do. I dont know all african women, but from what I have heard and seen I am really respecting them. They are the first to wake up in the morning, to preper food for the husband and the kids. Then there is cleaning, babysitting, and maby work at the market or somewhere else. Then there is more cleaning, washing and food prepearing before the husband is back. When the husband is resting after work the woman maby walk to get more wather, and clean the kids and their clothes. When all her work is done, the day is over, and she goes to bed to rest before a new day, with more washing. Its really a full time job, but she´s not complaining; "a womans got to do what a womans got to do".
