Kampala is full of motorcycles. Uganda doesn’t have public transportation, so most people use motorcycles called “boda boda” as taxis. You can see one, two, or even three people sitting behind the driver. The traffic is bad, but boda boda go between the cars. There are also small vans like buses. People signal to the van they want to take and it stops for them. In the countryside, there are always people walking along the main road. Children walk to school. Adults go shopping or collect wood and water. People with bicycles push them and carry heavy things on the back rack. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

2019年2月27日「モバイル英語学習」第593号(英語のエッセイ): Flying to Uganda

Notes
Uganda ウガンダ(アフリカの国)
United Arab Emirates アラブ首長国連邦
——————–
I am in Uganda traveling with a small group from Japan. Uganda is in East Africa, so the easiest way to go there is through the Middle East. We took Qatar Airways and flew via Doha, Qatar, to Entebbe, the international airport of Uganda. As we left Doha, the plane did not fly the short route over Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Instead, it flew around over Oman. Then I remembered that Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. are not friendly now. They don’t let Qatar Airways fly over, so the planes have to go around and take a longer route. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
