Kigali

Kigali is a very clean city; I bet you already know that. But, what you may not know my friend, is that Kigali has the Finest of women in East and central Africa.

…huh, you knew that too? Ok.

We visited Kigali town with only one intention, to kill boredom…yes, I go beyond borders to lay off ,how cool is that,

Do not be surprised when you hear that i migrated to some country just because I couldn’t take it in U.G any more.

I got into Friday with absolutely no plans, hell I was contemplating going to the village and check on grandma, until that call came through,…my cousin Harouna from K-town, he had finally managed to convince my uncle and auntie that he could manage living out of their house. The call was to invite me to go down there and celebrate with him the beginning of his bachelorhood.

“…So, are you sure there is no curfew in that country? Coz you know us Ugandans,when we start something, we like to see it to it’s end…I mean, we go till 6 in the morning” I said.  Then came the reply “just get yo a** here, you won’t be disappointed I promise ” and that is all the assurance I needed- you will NOT be disappointed.

So, I call up my main Man Ambrose

HIM; Sup man

ME;  Maintaining, w’sup with you?

HIM; Bored

ME; I know just what you need and where to get it

HIM; Talk to me

ME; k-town

HIM; Huh

ME; Kigali baby, we leave today afternoon

HIM; …be there in a few

It took us about an hour and 45minutes from Mbarara to the border of Gatuna/ Katuna and about a minute or two to clear customs and then walk through the border (this E.African community thingy is the best),….changed a few shillings at one of the border post forex bureaus coz we needed cab money to get us to Kigali town which is about 80 | km | mi, we paid 18000 francs about 54000shs. when i told cousin boy about this, he laughed so hard making me look like some kinda fool, I hear “ba kwibye” (they cheated you)

This is some of the beauty that welcomed us to Kigali, I asked how they manage and was told that Rwandese are very disciplined people, I don’t know how true this is but, well, if you compare them to Us, Kagame is really doing a good job.

Besides being clean and everything, the city is very organized…I said, the City, only the City.  The slums are appalling, seriously, they have like thousands of these small, dirty and congested bu-houses, but I promised myself that I was going to stick to the positivities.

So, I was saying,

The city is very organized and the city center is built on Hills, you know like many small hills where if you stood on top of UTC… meanwhile, this is a building that houses Nakumatt, Tigo and other shopping areas with nice coffee areas, if you want to enjoy some killer optical nutrition, this here, is the recommended place.

UTC

Ok, where was I…

…the night life, yes, and the night life.

First off, those guys don’t play their own music in the night clubs or hung outs, we visited one of the best Night clubs KBC, I heard one of the guys call it Kigali bitch center, don’t ask me anything coz I don’t know, They play mostly ‘gangster’ music and Ugandan music, especially Bebe cool’s Kasepiki and probably all albums that Mosey and weasel have ever recorded.
