1. When you call for a taxi to pick you up at 6:45 the next morning, they will show up honking at 6:15...every morning. (this has happened all three mornings. needless to say, we've never left the house fully ready!)
2. When you want someone to "pick you up" or to "pick up the phone" you don't say "please pick me up at 3" or else they will die laughing as they are picturing literally carrying you from point a to point b. The correct term is "pick me at 3" or "pick the phone".
3. Whenever a Ugandan figures out you are an American, without fail the first question they will ask you is "How is my man Barack Obama??". There are many "Obama's" restaurants and hair salons.
I'm sure there will be many more to come.....
