Mel-Bulaaya :-)

Last weekend the husband and I had the pleasure of travelling to another part of our Bulaaya- Melbourne in the heart of Victoria state. Its almost unbelievable how huge this country is! I live in Queensland state which is about 3 times the size of Uganda and it is just one of SIX! That  fact annoys me! I have always perceived Uganda to be bigger than it really is. I have had to accept that many people have never heard of it before so each time I say that I am from there, I add that it is in East Africa. Most people only hear that I am from Africa.

The journey was brief however, on arrival, the sudden weather change was unbelievable. From about 24°C in Brisbane to 11°C in Melbourne! I felt like giving the guy walking ahead of us a big hug because he had traveled wearing short shorts, a vest and slippers!

It was nice being able to meet up with lovely people. I felt pretty special as the husband wanted to 'show me off' to his friends.

A couple of random pics from the trip.

Kwefula busy on the plane
I actually like this pic!
My fashionista sister-in law :-) It pays to hang with the right pips!!

Attending a 'Gangnam style' party. Horse racing is a big deal around this time of year. There is even a public holiday for a race that lasts less than 5minutes! I don't have to understand to enjoy the holiday :-) It was very cooooold by the way! I was just pretending!


Can you spot me?


 I am sure they have no idea what KTM really means :-)

Spotted UGANDA on a pole in the city erected in 2006 in honour of the countries that came for Commonwealth games.







It's embarassing that Skyfall has not yet arrived here!!!! We are waiting till Nov 22nd! We get it after practically everyone: Uganda(obviously), Taiwan, Vietnam, Libya and even Iraq! I have no idea who had the guts to publicise this!!!
