Now that you’ve seen the lil K, let me introduce you to the big K – Kampala, Uganda’s capital. Here is a random assortment of shots around the city.
Nakesero Market is HUGE . . . here's a little corner of it.

Matatus – the best transport around the city.
Basically a matatu is a taxi, but for many people. Each matatu has a route it follows back and forth all day, and a guy (aka “the conductor”) hangs out the side of the minivan hollering where they’re going. Anyone who wants to go in that direction just hails it. The matatu pulls over, and the conductor squishes in as many people as possible.The rate is around $0.33 – best deal in town.
Pimp my matatu

Awesome pics! Rock the mini-bas, er I mean, matatus.
I HATE MATATUS and will kindly throttle every matatu tout, conductor and driver on the planet for a minimal fee. Like $0.33. They are pure evil.
