Most beautiful place I've ever visited, and definitely home to the most gracious, generous people I've ever encountered. Weather stays 75-80 degrees year round in most of Uganda due to its higher elevation and location on the equator. 


Then why don't you move there?

I'd be curious to hear his response but speaking for myself - in spite of encountering many beautiful things and wonderful people you are never completely allowed to forget you are a visitor - marked so by your skin color and your language.

There is a general belief among many of the Africans who have never been to the United States that people from America are all really wealthy. So much so that if you chose you could give them large amounts of money without causing yourself any noticeable difference in your own wealth. That kind of difference in understanding, combined with missing home and family, would make it pretty hard to live there for the rest of my life - however much I loved visiting or even living there for shorter periods of time.
