Hey KillArmy:
Will do my best to answer your questions below
Q1: I have the prejudice about most of black africa that you get really easily harassed by a lot of people (demanding you money etc.) just because you are white. Not true?
A1: Not true. Africa is a continent and were you asking me about being at the Likki Market in Lagos, Nigeria, I would be asking you if you fell on your head? However, Africa is comprised of many countries, possessing much the same culture, varies country to country. The people of Kampala, Uganda are far and away the warmest and most welcoming I have found. There has to be a reason that Kenyan men cross the border to find a Ugandan woman to wed. Will you be approached by a begger while here? Perhaps, however nothing to the level which it appears you are suggesting. There are far worse places in the USA (i.e., French Quarter, New Orleans, etc.) for pan-handlers. And to answer your question, you will find no accord of dislike for white people from the Ugandan people. Far more likely to be greeted warmly and with a smile.
Q2: How reliable is the internet?
A2: Yes, just make sure you stay in a Western quality Hotel. Most all the descent hotels have reliable Wi-Fi in Kampala. If you are staying at the Kampala Serena for example the internet will be free (free that is if you do not include the $300/night hotel cost); and may be a small fee in lesser quality hotels. Purchase a local SIM card with data for your phone or tablet when you arrive. You can do this right at the airport in Entebbe when you arrive.
Q3: understand the best area would be around the Acacia Mall. There are condos around there - same style than in Asia/S-A with gyms/swimming pool?
A3: Not sure what you are asking me, however believe you are inquiring about the quality of Hotels? If you are searching for the safest area to stay, yes, the Acacia Mall area is nice. If you are unconcerned with price, I would recommend the following Hotels: Kampala Serena Hotel; Elizabeth Royal Hotel; Kololo Courts Hotel and the Sheraton Kampala. If you want the whole African vibe, stay at the Kampala Serena. There are also Condos for rent, however will need to check with local property management businesses as they will handle the details in this matter.
Q4: How good is the food - is it cheap if you want some more Occidental food (italian, mexican, etc.)?
A4: The food is to die for, and affordable. Allow me to mention that I am not a finicky eater. I live in a California, USA and have some of the finest restaurants in the world near my home. My point is that I am uninterested in traveling 8,000 miles to eat “imitation Italian”. Now that being said ? The food is amazing. If you do not have a sensitive palate, try some of the local dishes. I personally recommend luwombo a traditional dish (steamed beef/chicken w/vegetables, potatoes, carrots, wrapped in banana leaves). My favorite roadside food was far and away Muchomo (chicken gizzards or pork kabobs). You can even find Muchomo in the nicer restaurants of Kampala. For breakfast try Katogo (Ugandans swear by it as a hangover remedy). Basically a mix of fried plantains w/soup, beef, (chicken and goat also work) beans, w/vegetables. Once I ried Katogo, I ate it for breakfast my last three days in Kampala. Now, to the crux of your question; regarding international cuisine? Yes, of course, you will not only find French, Italian, Mexican cuisine in local restaurants, however, Hotel restaurants as well.
Q5: Last but not least... not super very much into huge bootys - appreciate much more the skinny type with as big as possible boobs. There are some there ? Some of the booties I have seen reading the topic are just ''too much'' for my tastes.
A5: There is every shape and size. Bear in mind that Ugandan women are known for exaggerated curves and tone. If you are looking for a slight, Asian shape, this is not the place. These womens bodies are strong, shapely and powerful with tapered waists (hardly any body fat). I joked in an earlier post, if you are hoping your future son to one day become a sports star (football, baseball, etc.), this is the place. Bear in mind that not all bodies are created alike. There are many Ugandan ladies with more traditional shapes as well. If you look at three of the photos I posted recently of the three ladies, they are all well-formed as they say in Africa. To be clear, physically, Ugandan women on average tend to have a more athletic look to them. They have good muscle-tone, strong and serious curves with a small waist. On average they are more filled out in the boobs, hips and thighs than your garden-variety white woman. I actually asked a Ugandan woman when there, why Ugandan women have such killer curves, and many white women do not? Just curious what her answer would be? She smiled and said Ugandan women continued to develop physically while white women seem to stop at puberty. She was kidding of course. Hope this answers your questions.
