reporting for duty
I have just come back from a week in Kampala where everyone is laughing almost constantly. This despite widespread poverty, an average life expectancy of around the same as a Nissan Sunny, civil war in the North, Ebola in the West and the beginning of a Presidential crackdown on dissent. The laughter is pure merriment, not crazed, sinister or fake. After football, stand up comedy seems to be the national craze. Does anyone have any idea why this is?
