This is my bed in an 8 ft. by 8 ft. room.
In the beginning there were no other pieces of furniture. I ordered a dresser which I can use as a writing desk and storage for my clothing.
VSO could not find a ready-to-go dresser so a carpenter was commissioned and a week later it was completed. It arrived in a bicycle, and we were charged 10,000 Ugandan shillings for the delivery. The cost was a bit pricey because a boda-boda will take a passenger for 1,000 Ugs. Perhaps, the delivery man just pushed his bicycle and the cargo all the way, hence, the price.
Well, the furniture half-served its purpose, and I am already happy about it.
The rest of my wardrobe and personal belongings will remain permanently in the suitcases stashed under the bed.
It looks like the VSO compound is pretty large. How big is it? Are these some of your British housemates? Glad to meet them.
