The Ugandan Drive Thru

Traveling in Uganda is a pain in the... well I think you know what I mean.  All of the buses and taxis are decrepit and likely to break down.  You have to argue with the conductor on the price before getting in.  It takes hours to travel 50 miles.  It's hot, stuffy and crowded.  Dust blows into your eyes.  The protruding metal bars from the seats in front of you will dig into your knees, leaving bruises.  Needless to say, it's no one's favorite experience.

But, I get excited for the "Ugandan Drive Thru."  Of course, it's not like McDonalds.  Hundreds of people wait at road side markets where they BBQ meat, prepare chapatti, roast bananas and chill sodas.  Once your vehicle starts to slow down, these attendants rush to the windows, thrusting meat on a stick into the windows, yelling prices and pestering you until you've been satisfied.  Yesterday, we bought chicken on a stick- the best!  Here's some photos from the experience.

The chicken is pressed up against the window because no one is opening it....

Yum!
