May be i should say am now grown up to be independent and have my own decisions. After chrismas day on 26 i traved back to kampala for my new years day. Little did i know that i would be in juba that day. On 28/12/2007 while in kla town i meet one of my friend who was travelling to juba. he conviced me to trave with him. It did nt take long when i made up my mind and the next day i was in juba.
Life in juba looked to be crazy. The streets were deserted and a few pple were in town. I couldnt imagine i made such decision. to celebrate year 2008 in juba. however life hard to go on. The next day i went to office. it costed my almost four hours to see a person cross the nile commerce road(street). What meant to be busy city in southern city was just so deserted that one could one afford to either meet sudanese happy celebrating their holidays.
This made my life so un believeable when a mad mad entered in our office. it cost me 30 minutes to move him out of office. the language barrier and a combination of other factors made the 30 minutes turn to be hours.
Looking for want to eat was not all that easy. as want we term as ugandan food was only in a few place and abit far from my working place.
Want bathered me most is during my field work, most office would leave behind anote that reporting to work was on 7/1/2008. This never carried alot of mean just bse on 8th afew hard open and were preparing for 9/1/2008. This is the CPA day. Aday when the CPA was signed between the SPLA/SPLM and government of sudan. This day left pple celebrating bse there was no work .
I person concluded by saying "sudanese enjoy, like and observe holidays" un like in uganda where every man is on his own.
