Ugandan Independence Day

October 9th is Ugandan Independence Day. ISU got off school that day, and so did the CDC and the IDI, where mom and dad work. So, we decided to go and do something as a family. The final choice was to go to Garden City, which is really the only mall in Uganda. I go there quite often with my friends, so I knew the place pretty well.
At Garden City, you can do many things, including playing pool, bowling, eating decent food, shopping, and there is a movie theater. This movie theater is very nice, but the movies aren't that recent. Most times, a movie hits the theater here about two months after it begins showing in the States. The only real family movie that was supposedly showing that day was Kung Fu Panda. We had all heard that it was a hilarious movie, so we decided that we would check it out. However, the movie wasn't actually showing, so we decided to go bowling, which turned out to be a lot of fun for the whole family. We also ate a nice American style meal (burgers, fries, steaks, etc.) which tasted great!!

I'll try to keep the posts coming!
