A whole new world

Just to complete my journal, I am showing here the map of Africa, and where Uganda is in the vast continent, and from the equator.

In terms of travel time from Manila, Philippines, it is 8 hours plus to Dubai, then 7 hours plus to Entebbe via Addis Abdaba in Ethiopia.  It is 16 hours flying time plus 5 hours lay-over in 2 airports using Emirates airline.

My placement is in northern Uganda, in a town called Gulu, near the southern part of the Sudan.  It is 350 kilometers from Kampala, a travel time of around 5 hours with generally good roads.  

It seems an endless long solitary road, but it is not.
