My mom rented “The Last King of Scotland”, and we’re gonna watch it tonight and get all freaked out by Idi Amin and his dictatorship and execution of thousands of people in Uganda. “Oh geez, and you’re going there?!” is what you’re probably saying right now. Yeah, as if. Get me a time machine first, and don’t forget the crystals. Though with these guns (*flexes biceps*) I’d be just fine anyways. …ummm… or not.
Okay, I want to quiz you - in your opinion, how dangerous is Uganda right now? On a scale from 1 to 10 where:
1 - Fairies frolic amongst fields of flowers. Pillows are everywhere.
10 - Step one foot in Uganda and it’ll be chopped off by some rebel.
If you’re actually curious, google search with words such as “Uganda”, “peace”, “LRA”, or “Juba”. Make sure the articles you read are from 2007. Find out for yourself, and help others to get out of public hysteria and fear.

props. that movie is intense. when the tsub staff saw it, I think none of us spoke for at least an hour afterwards….
Where is it that the fairies are frolicking? I want to go there. J/K..no, wait, I’m not. Anyway, have a safe and amazing trip.
You got me all scared now…just got back from Seattle from a Netflix email notice saying Last King of Scotland is arriving tomorrow! Anyway-so fun to meet you last night at the send off…I’m excited you guys are now in flight and starting your amazing adventure in Uganda. Take good care of each other, enjoy the children!
