Ok today we saw a different side of Uganda. We went to the capital city center and went shopping. We went to 3 places that sold african goods for tourists. The items were so cheap if you look at how much work goes into them - lots of beautiful wood work, soap stone carving, batik paiting, and lots of jewelry. We helped the economy greatly!
Then we went to a mall that was more like what we have in the states. They had a WoolWorth department store, appliances, sporting goods ... It made me feel a little better that there is an upper class and a middle class group here. There was also a grocery store similar to American stores. I'm glad not EVERYBODY is buying there food off the streets and living day by day.
