Eating Rolex’s when I am on the go is one of the things I’ll miss most when I am back in America. You can find a Rolex stand anywhere in Kampala in less than 4 minutes. Rolex is the words “Rolled Eggs” smashed together. It’s scrambled eggs and Chipati which is like a thick tortilla. They're awesome.
I was waiting in line to get Stephanie and my dinner at a Rolex stand when a cow started running towards me. I had to get out of it’s way as it tore down the front of the strip mall. Several people had to move quickly to avoid getting trampled. Chasing the cow were a group of three or four boys laughing their heads off as they slapped it’s bum with sticks. The poor cow was trying to get away, and while doing so was causing mayhem in the little shopping area.
I pictured a group of kids going with their mother to get dinner and getting bored while waiting in line. So instead of whining to their mother for some quarters so they can shoot bandits in the future with “Time Cop,” the kids here in Uganda just grab a stick off the ground and start chasing cows and wreck havoc on the whole shopping center. Quite an amusing alternative I’d say.
Although I was the only adult that couldn’t stop laughing. |
