Take a bodaboda to New Taxi Park. (If you are mzungu (white), expect to pay 500 shillings more than fair price.) Walk around saying "Kyrinyabigo" and wait until a sketchy old man puts you in a matatu with 25 other people (licensed to carry 14, of course.) When you see the rusty urn by the lean-to, yell, "Massau!" then walk up the hill with the giant termite mound. Take the dirt road that leads up to the witch doctor's, but stop at the green doors. That's me.

Ugandan matatus always struck me as bizarrely uncrowded and safe.
