I went to the Uganda Cranes versus Togo football game. Sadly, Uganda lost 1-0. Togo dominated the first half and although Uganda got their act back together, it was a little too late in the end. But enough of the game commentary…
The best way to describe the experience was organized chaos. From the rows of vendors lined along the road into the stadium selling snacks, beverages, hats and fan paraphernalia; to the women’s security line (there was only 1 for women and 4 for men) where they confiscated all the beverages bought outside; to the stands… it was a fantastic gong show filled with nationalistic pride and energy that I hope to repeat again in the near future. (Uganda versus Ghana hopefully. I am still trying to figure out how to deal with torn loyalties between my Black Stars of my old home and the Cranes of my new home…)
