and i thought the introduction was boring.....
whats crackin my peeps...... ok so in america we all hate it when there is a road sign that says something like "construction ahead, single lane only"... well in uganda they have that too... unfortunately it is one lane for both directions.... lol... i thought that was very funny and unusual. so yesterday i went to a wedding.... at first i thought i was in luck... the wedding was supposed to start at 10 am. we left the house at about that time and we were just planning to maybe catch the end of it and go to the reception to hang out, chat, and eat. well.... we beat the bride there apparently. the bride showed up quite a while after we did and this was about noon or so. so we watched a wedding that was going on in the church while we were waiting for the one we were there for. then after everyone was ready, they preformed the ceremony along side another couple who was getting married. yeah very bizzare... and having 2 couples did not make it go any faster either. btw the entire thing was in luganda too. after the ceremony we visited pastor johns mothers house cause it was on the way and cause the reception wasnt ready yet or something. when we finally got to the reception we sat and did nothing for about an hour or so until the bride and groom decided to show up. there were no tables, and i somehow ended up sitting in the back by myself . i thought ok... they are probably going to say a few things, eat, cut the cake and then par-tay. well that is exactelly what happened, except for saying a few things took about 7 hours, and everyone was tired and wanted to leave as soon as they started to party. so overall i spent about 10-12 hours just sitting and listening to people talk in a language that might as well be gibberish to me. it was an interesting experience, and i am glad that i went, but honestly i give up on these ceremonies. i really am not going to go to another one unless i have someone there to talk to and to interpret for me. i am ready for the students break to be over so i can start actually doing some work. sorry for another not very interesting blog, but i hope to have some crazy experiences soon... btw i am having some major pizza and wings withdrawals. i really am losing sleep at night because of it... i mean what else do you think i am doing up at 2 am writing this? so if anyone wants to send me a pizza i would be all for that... aight!!!!! peace out
