This week is beginning to scare me

I am not a supersticious person but this week is really beginning to scare me. First Bryan Bukenya son to VP Bukenya who I didn't know till Sunday passes away, then Gen. James Kazini also passes early this morning.

What is shocking is the way they've died; Bryan in a road accident while travelling in a double cabin with four other people but the only one who dies. Then the General gets hit by his girlfriend with an iron bar!!!
Geez!!

Anyway despite all this sorrow, the clubs and bars will still open. Enjoy your life, while you still have it.

Eating the Ugandan way..........

There are so many reasons why I love my country. Heaven knows I adore the way we eat.A place where fat bellies represent wealth. Who cares about gaining weight, eating right.... blah blah. We live everyday to the fullest.That is why Pork takes the spot as our number one delicacy. Let me take you the places where I have experienced the the magic........


NankulabyeThis is the origin of Pork. Nakulabye is flooded with pork joints that you can almost fail to choose. Most importantly it is blessed to have the ancestor of all pork joints,Nicodemus.At Nicodemus pork is ordered in Kilos. His excellency,the president of Uganda once stopped in amusement.. The guy was worried thought people were planning a coup. The body guards who had experience in eating the Ugandan way quickly calmed him. All the president could say was, "Ugandans, then they complain they have no money"


Kabalagala...Kansanga
Those who have been their can help me testify. This place has its share of pork joints. The beauty of these joints is that they are close to happening places.
Recently I was at some pork joint and opposite was a clear view of girls dropping itlike its hot at Punchline. In case you are wondering what the hell punchline is? Just stick with this site. Oh yeah, back to the pork.........

Ntinda
This time,its not about the mansions.......Ntinda has it share of this food most dear to us. The spacious Zanzi bar is very popular. Weekends, weekdays the pork is always their. Rock Catalina,Cave down...the list is endless.

Honestly I have just given given you a sneak pick. The pork places are so many. I can notcontinue because we still need more space on our site to tell you WHATS HAPPENING IN UG.........

When Bar hopping is cheap..........

It’s Friday and you beyond doubt want to go out, not to only one bar but as many as possible. Well, if you are like me you are worried about the transport costs. The cost of a cab is worth like twenty beers. Behold I bring you good news, you can bar hop with out spending a coin. Kindly follow my lead…………….
Kisimenti. (Kamokya)
At Kisimenti, you can bar hop with out spending a shilling. The place is swamped with popular bars, Fat boys, just kicking and Iguana. Each bar is unique with a different crowd. The place is also blessed with some bufundas were you can start the night with cheap beer and later join the more fortunate Ugandans when you are blazed. The next day wake up boasting, “Man, I started at some Kafunda, then some place with whites called Iguana, before I knew it, Fat boys and finally Just kicking”. Believe me guys will allow.
Kampala Road.
This is one of the most happening places over the weekend. Here, you can still move around like you own the city with out wasting a coin. It’s worthwhile to begin with Club Rouge, since there is happy hour till 9pm and free entrance for ladies before 11pm. Mateo’s is on the same street with serious music and either Bell or Club promotions. Nandos is just below, guys are their not for only for Pizza but to also set the nights agenda. Platinum is also around the corner. The beauty of platinum is that there is no need to wait for happy hour, alcohol is cheap through out. When you are finally done hanging, there are taxis to most Kampala suburbs available.
I have shared my words of wisdom, so let’s go party. For God and My Country.

Another Friday

First I'll start by apologising for not post anything here for about two weeks now. Now that that is done, I'll start by feeling you in.

Last week started with a huge party at Zone 7 that they called the June Fest. It really was a Fest. My God! Everyone was there, they even had a huge cake for what they called the June babies.
I was there personally so I witnessed all this. It really was a huge party. I left at about 2am with my boys and we decided to check out other places since Tuesday was a public holiday. We drove from Zone7 to the Rugby Club, to Kisementi, and to Centenary Park and found not a place with life worth our stay. So we decided to check out the discotheques at Industrial area. Ange was closed so we drove on, Silk had another party of there own. The parking lot would tell you so you didn't have to enter to know. There were so many cars packed that you'd just know it's parked in there.
So we decided to check out a place we'd never checked out; T1 Club. It was also packed but we went in anyway. We had a blast, I'll surely go check it out again.

Then came the weekend and the much anticipated Rugby match between Uganda and Tunisia. I won't go into that since we lost anyway. But the after party!!! God Kampala! I think everyone in town was at Kampala Rugby Club last Saturday. The places was so parked that different music was being played from two different places. I wonder if that was the reason for that. Anyways it was a blast that when they stopped playing music at 2am I just went straight to my bed coz I'd had enough fun for the night.

Did you noticed I called this post Another Friday? Well that is because Another Friday is actually the theme night tonight at T1. I'll pass by to see what happens there but am told they'll play Rumba, Lingala, Soul, Pop, New Jack Swing, Afro Caribbean and many more.. That's like everything you can play in Uganda. Oh they'll also have live performances from dance groups.

It's the Blazzin Reggae Ragga nite at Silk, Galz Nite Out at Ange Noir and many more.. So you have many choices to choose from..

See you Out...

Am now on my way to Centenary Park to find out what those bars are doing today. Visit www.whatshappeninginug.com for details.

The night before Martyrs day.

As usual it begun as a normal day. People in their offices, students attending lectures, and the streets busy with people. But by the end of the day the excitement had set in.

People had smiles on their faces knowing the next day was a public holiday. The question on everyone's mind remained; which places happen on Tuesday being an early day of the week? But thank God for the town we live in. There were a variety of places, even the ones that don't open on Tuesday were open knowing their citizens to be party animals. However, there were some places that were on most people's minds being known for their theme nights. Steak out known for its Super Tuesday seemed to be the place on everyone's mind. The crowds were just dispeakable, gettin to the counter would take one twenty minutes not forgetting Bell was being sold at 1800shs only.

I could not take it anymore just after an hour because of the increasing crowds so we left for Fat Boyz knowing how it can never go wrong. It was Reggae night, and for some reason I enjoyed this place. It was not so packed, the crowd was a classy one and one had enough space to shake and get a drink quickly.
As time passed the music changed and got better, it was definately fun but we decided to hop to another bar. We called up our friends who said they were at the Barbeque lounge so we set off for Centenary Park. I was excited because the last time I was there I really liked it. Starting from the setup to the kind of people there, the music, it was just the place to be. But ooops!! this was not the case when we got there. The place was so packed and the crowd had many idlers. I then thought to myself when all these people discovered the place. We just walked in and out. Then we decided to try out Kyoto and boy did we make the right choice. The place was ballistic! The crowd was respectable and it was not packed. We did not leave till 5am. The music was just crazy, we danced till we couldn't take it any more and that was how my night ended.
It sure was a long one, can't wait for the next public holiday soon to come.

Entebbe

This past weekend I went to Entebbe to watch the Great Lakes Rugby 7s hosted by Entebbe Mongers Rugby Football Club. It was fun; the Beer was well chilled, the Muchomo was well done and the chics were nice thanks to Bella Events.

After that it was time to visit the bars. So I set off with my drink buddies. All the bars were showing the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Everton which I really didn't care about being a hard core Man United fan. After 10 minutes of touring the entire town to choose a bar, we settled for 4 Turkeys were we sat outside as we waited for the soccer to end so that we could catch the second half of the super 14 final.

The soccer ended and we were given a chance to catch our rugby. Some everyone we'd left at the rugby grounds was now with us and the night was on. We watched our rugby just us the guys that had come from Kampala as all the locals either played pool or cursed us for watching some stupid game while they could have been watching something like "Second Chance". Anyways the game soon ended and we now seriously started sending a swallow. We soon got bored at this place and moved to a bar I'll never forget. The bar is called Cassava Republic. This is a very good bar. The crowds are much better than those at 4 Turkeys.

Cassava Republic has everything good in a bar; cold beer, good music, food if you get hungry, no rowdy crowds, and nice chics. If we did not have to drive back to Kampala that night, we would have stayed all night.

Next time I'm in Entebbe I'll be sure to go to Cassava republic before checking out the other places that I didn't get a chance to visit. Places like X5 and Night Riders.

27th May 2009

It's the Champions League Final today and I promised I'd tell you which places you can go to watch it. Well for starters every bar that has a TV set and DSTV won't want to miss this except for those that don't show soccer as a policy. I can't think of any such off head but I'll give you some next time.

But whether you want to catch the game at the Mist at Serena or your kafunda bar you'll find it there.

I'll give you of a few places that are doing a special night for the final. Steak Out will have the game on large screen as you enjoy the Reggae with Selector Ras Brown and DJ Joseph.

Just kicking being a sports bar would be a good place to catch the final.
Zone7 is also doing a large, large screen there.
The biggest party I know is going to be at Sway Club. The party there starts at 7pm, and then an after party after the game till morning.
