Well, even if you have, I am sure that it is nothing like oweno. Although it is one of the best places to go if you are looking for cheap clothing, it is jam-packed, and, if you don't know your way around, you could be in there for the entire day, looking for what you want or the way out.
It is basically this huge market (or maze whatever you would like to call it) in downtown Kampala, covering a bit more than a city block. It is definitely for someone adventurous, and not for someone who is looking to get in and get out.
If anyone comes to Uganda, we will take you to all of the great national parks and to oweno. For everyone here at school, if you see them with a new shirt or shorts and you ask them where you got it, they will say, "Oweno".
At oweno, if you want to get a decent price, you have to know some good bargaining techniques.
- Know your way around oweno
- Be friendly with the seller.
- Start at a very low price so the agreement is lower
- Know the secret of, "I will look around and come back later" or "No, the price is too high, I will keep looking." Then it is almost a guarentee that they will call you back and lower the price and give you there "new" final price. These people really need the money.
Also, if you are ever wondering where all of the great clothing and old shirts, etc. that you give to your church or to Good Will which is donated to Africa goes, it is places like oweno.
Sorry no pix for this one.

Don't know how to pronounce it? It's like this--
You don't think we know what you were doing out there with your friends? Oh, we know!
You don't think we know how hard it is to study when all your friends are on safari? Oh, we know.
If that doesn't help, then just think about the monkey-like creatures in the Wizard of Oz who chant: "Oooooo ooooh, oo wee no."
