Re: Hello from Uganda
Happy New Year everyone!
I was thinking about Mark's question about where I get my food and I went to the market today to buy a few things so I snapped some photos so you all could see what shopping is like here.
Freshly slaughtered beef arriving at the market:

The beef being hung for sale. You might notice the stomach is also being carried in for sale--offal is part of people's diet here:

Fish is mostly tilapia with some nile perch and a sort of catfish:

I went in the middle of the day when the market is not particularly crowded, but there are still people milling about, shopping and kids playing. Half of the population here is under 15 years of age so there are kids everywhere:

Hope the picture brought this a bit more to life for you--it is hard to describe things well with only words.
