Ulyssa Martinez on 15 Nov 11Growing up, I never heard about Uganda, let alone any country besides America or Mexico. It was not until I got to college that I was shown the vastness of our world, but Uganda was still not a country I was told much about. Up until a few weeks ago, I knew Uganda was a country in Africa. Now I know that it is much more than just a country in Africa. When Karen began to tell us of her experience in Uganda, the one thing that stood out to me was the boda boda, Uganda's name for a bicycle. I just really like saying the word: boda boda. I decided to search this term in google and came across an American's blog from 2006. His entry about boda bodas is about the pricing of boda bodas (they can be taken as taxis) and how, as an American, he essentially got ripped off. I thought this was an interesting thing to bookmark because it presents another person's interaction with Uganda and their own exploration of their journey.
