On one hand, the culture here in Uganda is not all that different from that of American society and Western culture. They watch football matches (soccer) – and follow the English Premier League with a passion. They watch movies, play sports (though on dirt fields), have cell phones, and go to concerts, dance clubs, and bars. So as far as “entertainment” goes, it is more similar here than I thought.
On the other hand, some differences are easily noticeable. The lack of running water, taking bucket baths, using a hole in the ground for a toilet, eating essentially the same food every day, the high unemployment and low wages (and we think the economy is bad in the US!), and tons of health issues.
