So when I entered Uganda at the Entebbe Airport, I naturally handed my passport over. I got the 20 questions routine that I was expecting. One of the standard questions is, “Why are you coming to Uganda?” FSD alerted me that the only choices are business or tourism, so a volunteer should choose tourism.
Unfortunately, when I answered “tourism,” the customs lady didn’t quite believe me. “Ten weeks is quite a long time for tourism, don’t you think?”
“Yeah, I guess. Not really, though.”
So, she used her ball point pen to carve a big “2 MO” across the top of my passport. This means that I am authorized to stay for two months. Eight weeks. Not ten.
Now what?
