 11 Fun Facts about Uganda 

  1. Part
    of the Nile River
    runs through Uganda.
  2. English
    is the most common language in the city.
  3. Uganda is
    known for their pineapples.
  4. There
    are ~80 tribes in Uganda.
  5. According
    to the Anglican Church (that we worked with), if your skirt is not down to
    your ankles then you are not born-again.
  6. In Uganda
    we have been served lots of meat, which is a nice change from so many
    beans.  However, when they cook the
    meat (beef or goat) they just cut it up into large pieces and cook every
    thing in one big stew.  Sometimes
    you don’t know if you are eating meat, liver, intestines, stomach, tongue,
    or any other part of the animal because they waste nothing.
  7. The
    average church service is ~4-6 hours. 
    (This is a little hard to get us too, the average attention span
    for my team is about 2 hours J)
  8. Peanuts
    are called ground nuts.
  9. When
    you ask where the toilet is they ask you if it is for a long-call or
    short-call, basically do you need to go #1 or #2.
  10. We
    were told that for every tree that you cut down you have to plant three
    more.
  11. Uganda has
    many banana plantations and you can make many products from bananas
    including banana wine.
