New Years!

New Years in Uganda! Five minutes before midnight we looked out over the skyline of Kampala, Uganda waiting for 2005. Then with a scare the power of the entire city cut. Darkness. Screams started to erupt. What was happening? I fully expected bombs to start dropping due to the panicked screams, but Kampala was a safe place. Then with a brilliant burst in the sky the trail of a fire work appeared and the city again shouted, this time in joy. It was New Year’s...Ugandan style. The city didn't sleep until dawn and the beating of drums beat with wild exhilaration.
