      Uganda is a weird country. I’ve been in Kampala once when bush was president and visited. To make the city look good, they painted everything in this salmon color from the airport to his hotel, which was a few km. So every wall and tree and whatever was in the way was that off pink, but only a meter high.
      I was pretty young then an even then realised that it’s a weird way to spend money. Later when i was older i went to the same place, and the city was more progressive and cleaner and nicer over all, and i thought it’s noce that they got their shit together.
      Then in the middle of nowhere suddenly a huge ass stadium appeared. It was just on a field, no real roads leading to it and no parking (yet?)
      So i asked a guy who lived there what that thing is and what it’s for. He said that they build it because wrestlemania or some other big wrestling event was there. So i asked if people are huge wrestling fans gere or something. No, not at all, they have no idea why it’s there.

        Imagine what the population could have used that money for that was spent on that stupid stadium.
