There are over 43 languages spoken in Uganda! There are many different tribes and groups of people here and they each speak a different language or dialect.
Uganda’s currency (money) is the Ugandan Shilling. Bills come in 1,000; 2,000; 5,000; 10,000; 20,000; and 50,000.
A bottle of water costs around 1,500 to 2,000 shillings. A meal typically costs 15,000 to 20,000 shillings.
My best meal this week was actually at an Indian and Ethiopian restaurant in a Northern Ugandan city called Gulu. The meal consisted of Kadai chicken, rice and naan. Kadai chicken is an Indian dish with a creamy tomato-based sauce with peppers and chicken. It is a bit spicy but really great mixed with rice. Naan is an oven-baked flatbread originally from Asia. Although it is similar, I like this even better than Chapati!
I listened to a lot of African music that was playing from the inside of shops while walking on the street. This was a bit different than being in Rwanda because I typically do not hear music playing while I am walking down the street, so it was a pleasant surprise that made things more fun.
