Entry fourteen - London and cosmopolitanism. A World War I statue in London. Bordering Trafalgar Square is Uganda House, which houses the Ugandan embassy, and still has its cornerstone proclaiming that it was opened by Idi Amin in 1975. A Ugandan Christmas dinner was advertised, complete with matooke and posho, for thirty pounds (sixty USD)! I hope everyone's holidays went well, and all the best in 2007.

This is the first - and perhaps last - installment of this blog. If I can find a computer that supports this program and if the Gargoyle's strict editorial policies exclude my less polished work, I may write something every once in awhile. It seems like the perfect forum - no audience (or perhaps an imaginary one), yet the ability to print something that in theory is accessible to half the world.

Entry thirteen - Protest and research. I am indecisive (as usual) regarding what function this blog should serve - observations of. An update of my work? The first of these would likely be more interesting for most of you, while the second is one of my favorite pastimes. I will leave the broader question of the blog's purpose unresolved, but for this entry I am following the third strategy. Since my update, the university has been closed due to the unresolved lecturers' strike. A member of the guild lead...

Mehta is an Indian businessman (in Uganda, Indians are usually called 'Asians') who owns Lugazi sugar. There is a myth that "Indians came to build the railway.".
