Photo album
I just uploaded a bunch of pictures to a picassa photo album, if you want to check them out. They're mostly never-been-posted ones.

About
I spent a total of 18 weeks in South Karamoja, Uganda between 2004-2006; this blog is part travel journal and part Karamoja/Africa news. Uganda is a country in East Africa, slightly smaller than Wyoming and with a pop. of 22 million; Karamoja is on the eastern side. (See this map.)
Coffee is the major export crop. In Karamoja, cattle are the measure of wealth; people also grow sorghum, beans, and peanuts.
Mini Glossary:

Akuj - God
