Cheap e-mail
If you are keeping in contact with home by e-mail, then uganda is a good value place to mail from. Although the connection is quite slow, you pay hardly anything. We were paying 2 ugandan shiillings per hour, which is about 40 pence I think.... Very cheap compared to other countries that have just connected to the web! Not my favourite thing, but very useful! My fondest memory of uganda was the first time I walked down the hill at Speke Camp and heard the amazing raw of the Nile. I sat on the banks of that river for hours in disbelief really. It was a very influencial moment for me. When ever I shut my eyes and think of Uganda now, I hear the raw and I see the cascading water.
