Touring the City and Birdwatching...

Phil drove us around Kampala to visit markets and shop for essentials like cheerios and such. It is impossibe to drive around the city and survive for five minutes but thousands of people do it. How can this be? Phil says it's like playing a video game. I am amazed. I've seen less accidents than in Minneapolis, and I myself remain unharmed. At first I thought people were in a hurry, and then it occurred to me that they were just being cooperative with each other in their journey from place to place, and the flow had to continue at a good pace. No one shows anger to each other. They are the best drivers I have ever seen. I wouldn't drive here for a million dollars, even if they drove on the right side of the road.
