Africa for Wimps

I've spent the last to weeks in Uganda, Uganda is like Africa for wimps:

It's hot but not actually too hot because it is mountainous. (a pleasant 25'c all year round)
It's poor but not too dangerous or corrupt because it is a very christian country.
There are other languages but the official main language is English.....see what I mean?

We crammed a lot of stuff into our two week trip, I got to see most the animals from the Lion King which is the best Disney film ever made- probably the best film ever made. We went rafting and body boarding in the Nile and I got to test out some myths about the equator. It turns out the thing about water going clockwise in the north and anti-clockwise in the south is actually true because there was an experiment set up at the equator. even though the bowls were only a few meter apart it was enough to make a difference and the water in the bowl on the equator goes straight down which was weird to watch. The other myth about people walking on there hands in the southern hemisphere turned out to be false.

If you work for channel 5 and want to produce a program entitled something like 'Extraordinary Genitalia' Uganda is the place to go:
