ugandan wax torture

UGANDA | Wednesday, 7 November 2007 | Views [1117] | Comments [1]

forget chinese water torture, i've found a new method to cause serious pain and make people talk, which i like to call ugandan wax torture. my god. the pain, the pain of it all. getting a brazillian is painful enough at the best of times but here, wow! it usully takes 10 minutes and it took over an hour, i was almost screamin in certain parts. thats all i'll say on the matter, ugandan wax torture.

so i'm now in fort portal, a sleepy little town at the foot of the rwenzori mountains. nice place, very green and shiteloads of tea farms! had an interesting bus ride here. e stopped in a small town and the street vendors came rnning up alongside the bus with kebabs, chicken, chapati, matoke and these wierd green things. i asked the lady net to me and she said they were grasshoppers and then she bought some and offered me one. i'm never one to offend so i tried one grasshopper. interesting, very crunchy, tasted kinda like chicken. she offered me more but i had to draw the line, just one had me feeling like dry reaching. T-I-A, this is africa!

Hey Babe,
I'm so jealous, i love reading all your stories. Sounds like your really making the most of your time there. Trekking with the gorillas hey well i better give you some tips from non other than diane fossey. 1. Provoke the silverback
2. Make sure you run if one chases you
3. Eat their bananas
and if all else falls bang your chest, rub some dirt on your face and run around with your hands in the air!!! Hope that helps. Love ya heaps babe, keep having fun and try and bring me back a baby gorilla.
Love Tanya
