hey, I have now been in Uganda for a month and I have learned so much about the culture and the way things are done over here. One thing I have learned about Ugandan culture is it's not wired to hold hands with the same sex, were we would take that as homosexual behavior to Ugandans its normal. When I am walking in Jinja I see guys holding guys hand and girls holding girls hands or even guys holding girls hands. This physical gesture only means that you are good friends nothing more.
So when I was in Kampala during deaf awareness week I had my first experience of holding hands with both guys and girls. Sometimes they even link fingers, when that happens it becomes really awkward, for me. So now that I have been here for a month I have held hand with a lot of people; when you are waking with someone from one destination to the other it's just natural to hold hands because you are both walking together and going to the same place so you might as well hold hands while your at it right? So when I come home and I start holding hands with any of my friends please don't take offence it, I am just warning you now it might happen!
that's all I have for now I will write again the next time I have fast Internet, hopefully that will be sooner than later.
