Touch a Mzungu

     Generally, on my walk to and from work, the the only things that I walk past are the goats, cows, and chickens; however, today while I was walking home through "Shantytown," I passed a group of kids.  (Kids are everywhere here - probably because Uganda most likely has one of the highest fertility rates in the world.)  Because white people are such a novelty in this part of town, the kids usually stare at me...might wave...might yell MZUNGU (which means foreigner) in disbelief, but today as I was walking, 4 or 5 kids began yelling "MZUNGU" with a little more enthusiasm than I have seen before.  They then charged me and began grabbing my legs, my clothes, and whatever else they could get a hold of.  I think it is kind of like a game of chicken - who is brave enough to touch the mzungu?  Apparently all of these kids...haha
