I had a great weekend. (the internet was down yesterday so I couldn't update) Anyways, Friday night we went out with some friends to the rugby club, which is a bar right next to a rugby field, and then to a dance club, which was fun. It's funny watching people dance here b/c the guys mostly dance with each other, not with girls or else people dance in a circle. Saturday we went to a market. It was crazy! People everywhere! I got a small basket that I really like.
Yesterday, I went to a workshop on Mato oput, the traditional Acholi justice process. It was mostly in Luo, so I didn't understand much, but they did some interviews for a documentary in English. I'm really interested in traditional peace mechanisms and wrote a paper about mato oput last semester, so that was cool.
Today, we went to Karuma Falls (which is actually just some rapids) near the source of the Nile. It's very pretty, but we had to get permission from a soldier to take photos and film, and we were only allowed about 10-15 minutes. We then went to an IDP camp and I got a lot of pictures while they were filming some clips for the documentary.
Nive is working here for a year and is getting a house. I'm going to move in with her as soon as she gets that all worked out and furnished. That should be nice =)
