Kristy's Uganda blog: October 2007
http://ksev.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 27, 2007. I walked to Mbale one day from my house. It’s about 30 Kilometers! My neighbors live in one house with 5 teachers, which is actually 5 independent families in one house, probably the size of 2 of my living rooms back home. It is so small! Total, there are 5 teachers, 3 wives, and 9 children, which equals 17 people in one small house! Friday, October 12, 2007. Sipi Falls is beautiful, see. I think there is this cycle. Uganda is living life as a circle. A circle that goes around...

Kristy's Uganda blog
http://ksev.blogspot.com/2008/07/taking-bath-is-like-going-to-mcdonalds.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. Taking a bath is like going to McDonald's. I usually dislike both places, but once you have lived in Uganda for a while, those seem like amazing, glorious prizes out of your reach. There are these buildings… they are small, brick, one story buildings that are stores. People sell things in them, like fresh produce, soap, toilet paper, radios, and about a billion other things people need. Some are stores selling cell phones or hardware. Big companies come in and paint these buildings.

Kristy's Uganda blog: Get on the Night Train
http://ksev.blogspot.com/2008/05/get-on-night-train.html
Monday, May 19, 2008. Get on the Night Train. Choo, choo. They sell night train here like a fine wine. haha, Night Train. I've been seeing posters and advertisements around in Kampala and on the shelves near me. I'm sure the rest of the article can be found online. So, I guess I am mentioning it in my blog because he mentions the Peace Corps, and that's me. Somehow I agree, somehow I am not sure, but it's there anyway. June 11, 2008 at 4:41 PM.

Kristy's Uganda blog: Light it up
http://ksev.blogspot.com/2008/07/light-it-up.html
Sunday, July 13, 2008. Burning trash is the bomb- it's awesome and I really never realized it until yesterday when I burned a bunch of papers and other rubbish I don't really need anymore. The kids were helping me burn and they kept asking me. "You are burning that! Termites are good for eating. Spiderman is alive and well and living in New York City? He said that most people think Spiderman is real. This is just one example of how American culture seen in the eyes of a Ugandan can be scewed? It really m...

http://ksev.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. This is my family! We were all in Richmond airport when I came home over Christmas, that's where the picture was taken. Monday, January 21, 2008. I am writing today, Monday, January 21, 2008 in Mbale Uganda. It's a nice day, the sun is shining, the town is busy, and the market was hopping earlier. I understand that the GIANTS are in the superbowl. very awesome. It was a 6 FOOT LONG snake! Holy crap, it was very scary! It's funny all the things that may seem "normal" or "usual"...

Kristy's Uganda blog: August 2008
http://ksev.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2008. My farewell to Uganda has come suddenly but apparently logically according to some higher power. so, due to circumstances that I did not foresee, I have returned to my homeland. America, the land I love. I guess this will be my final blog and it's ok for me. I have enjoyed writing and sharing to whomever has come across these entries and I wish you all well. Thank you to my Mom and Dad, family and friends for all the support you have shown me during my time in Uganda. And t...

Kristy's Uganda blog: The Struggle
http://ksev.blogspot.com/2008/06/struggle.html
Thursday, June 26, 2008. 8220;The Struggle” is a statement written on taxis and coasters that travel around Uganda. I see them around where I live and in Kampala. 8220;The Struggle”… it used to make me laugh because it conjures up thoughts of rap songs, but now when I see it, I think yep… the struggle. When I visit schools, sometimes their motto is: “Struggle and succeed” I guess that’s true too. Thought it sounded strange at first, but here, it’s what you gotta do. I can't reflect anymore right now.
