Dancing

I will begin where I last stopped, about one of my pals who tries hard to learn how to dance.

Here in Africa there is a lot of time excuse "as African time". Why do I have to say that? Here follows the reason........
The week after the college organised a get-to-gather party between the administration and the students. two friends (Ferdy and Wes) were invited to attend. But this pals are Mzungu (white guys) and one of them is the one who is curious about knowing how to dance. The problem comes that to this two guys time is time, they assume that the time they were told to come to the party was exactly that time, they decided to come at the proprietary time. They meet me as they were going there, I told them about "African time". They were really smart to understand so they went home till I called them after almost an hour. With "African time" you can never be late, only to early...

If you really need to know what am meaning about African time, please read my friends blog at www.heeling.nl (translated from Dutch). At the party we started with the agenda of the day. Whereby the first agenda item was to sing the national anthem followed by the college anthem then as always a lot of boring speeches followed.
I am really typing all this just to explore to you how the organisation of different occasions works. And if your are not a Ugandan, your really need to learn how to be patient and you need to learn how to do a lot of nothing before you go to Uganda.

Time for dancing, remember Wes is really willing to learn how to dance, Some stubborn drunkard students joins him in the dance, I think that on that day he has acquired all the best dance moves he had ever wished to learn. It was really fun.
“One mans meat is always another mans poision”. Wes friend on the party(Ferdy) looks if he wished that a hole in the floor could swallow him when one of the nice, beautiful, stubborn young ladies came out for him to ask to join on the dancing floor!

well, well, well, always a lot of words takes some ones mind to get bored!
