As usual,I got a knock on my door for breakfast the next morning and i had another wonderful meal for breakfast. After breakfast, I packed my luggage and backpack enroute Kampala, Uganda. Its only 8 hours by Bus. I went to nyambugogo Motor park and these was what i saw(pictures attached). Beatiful park and alot of VANS to transport people with a very nice customer satisfaction. I asked what time they go to Kampala and the price. Its 8am and 5pm daily for 10,000rwf, Answered by a staff of Modern Coast EA bus. This is where i realized that the Taxi driver that took me from the Airport to the hotel inflated the price. I paid and got my ticket printed(see picture attached)

Its just 11:00am. I had to wait about 6 hours before boarding the Bus to Kampala. I decided to walk around Kigali and i had some beautiful pictures as seen in the pictures attached. Here in Rwanda, the most popular fuel station is "Kobil" just like we have Mobil in Nigeria. After three hours of walking around, riding on the bicycle and playing this game as seen in the pictures
. i returned to Modern Coast waiting room where i met a Congolese Lady. Beautiful in her 40s, She was using an Iphone. She picked up conversation with me when she saw my Galaxy S9.
What did you guys discuss?Show us pics too.

Did you visit the Genocide memorial? Gorrilla Park and Lake kivu? what about Papyrus, piripiri, Fulcia, 514, +250 pubs / clubs etc ? Convention center as well? Did you eat matoka meal, ugali and kaunga with groundnut soup? Did you eat their tasty/ roasted goat meat brochette & fries? Did you also drink my favorite drink of blended sugarcane with ginger and lime? Did you also visit carwash grin

I used to eat at carwash sometimes because of the meat. It is owned by a Kenyan.
Papyrus, Pilipili, Lemust, Cocobean were my hangout.
You really rocked that place o.
Didn't you visit German Butchery for Pork, Pizza etc?

Hahaha, I didn’t go to Cocobean and the German butchery but I visited several other places that I can't even recall their names, Papyrus was a blast for me although pricey again , I don't eat pork, not because of religion though but I detest pork as an animal.

Yes I rocked the place, it reminds me of my visit to Banjul years ago, I also enjoyed Banjul - Gambia but in terms of all the African countries l have visited, I had a good time in Rwanda, Seychelles and Mauritius are on my bucket list, life is boring without fun.

Did you get to visit Tally cafe bakery at Giporoso, Remera? I frequented Tally cafe as well, because of the various mede mede they have, owned by a young Rwandanese, he told me during my conversation with him that he average 1 million Rwanda franc daily from his business, l couldn't doubt his claim because several times l go to the place, I see an average of between 60 / 70 clients waiting to be served shocked

Dear Op:
I see can tell you enjoyed your time in Rwanda because you have nothing but positive things to say about the country. Rwanda seems to have gotten governance, infrastructural development and economic development right. It is safe to call Rwanda the Singapore of Africa. But bros ooo, you no upload plenty pictures for us to see ooo! Photos speak volumes where the pen fails. Enjoy your waka.

I took a taxi to my Hotel for 10,000 rwf which i believe was inflated and i was gullible to pay it because taking a bike from the Airport will only cost me 1000rwf. My first encouter is that they dont speak English and its so difficult to communicate. Even hotel receptionist cant communicate fluently in English. It was night already and i needed to fill my empty stomach. See list of food attached in the Picture. I odered for Beef Stew which comes with rice and Potato as attached in the Picture. I also requested for Fanta, i wonder why Nigeria does not have


this kind of Fanta anymore though. The food cost 2700rwf, Fanta is 600rwf and water is 400rwf. After Dinner, i took a night walk and found a Club closer to my hotel, I entered and the music i heard them playing was Wizkid and Davido... WOW!!! Interesting right? I ordered for Primus, and i got into conversation with the manager who explained to me how much they love Nigerian Artists more than their own Artists. He's tellling me to help him come to Nigeria and i told him he needs 500,000rwf to come down to Nigeria. This guy is ready to pay me this money ooo... Na so I go just scam am Lol... Thats really funny though. Its recorded in Video, I dont have any picture but you can see the one attached.


Is that ´fanta Palmwiné’
Re: My Travel Experience To East Africa by Predstan: 3:57pm On Feb 26, 2019
Its been a Long time. I am back in Nigeria. I had a little problem entering Kenya, i was turned back without any reason but i will discuss it later. I will continue to Update the thread

hours of walking around, i returned to Modern Coast waiting room where i met a Congolese Lady. Beautiful in her 40s, She was using an Iphone. She picked up conversation with me when she saw my Galaxy S9.

Hello, What Samsung is this. She asked
This is Galaxy S9
oh its beautiful. Are you Rwanadan?
No. I am from Nigeria
Wow!!! Let me come sit with you and have some conversation. No problem, I answered
I love Nigeria and I love Nigerians. She said
Oh! Have you been to Nigeria?
No
So then how and why do you love Nigeria
I love their Movies and Music Artist. I love Wizkid, Davido, Tuface, Tiwa Savage and others
Thats Good to know.
Did you come to Rwanda from Nigeria, she asked
Yes i did come directly from Nigeria on a Plane.
Thats going to be expensive, She said
Yes it is.
How old are you and how were you able to afford it.
I told her my age and what i do.
There is Money in Nigeria i know. You dont go to school, she asked
I completed my degree a long time ago
WOW!!! She exclaimed. You must be very Intelligent. A man of your age in Congo and in Rwanda dont think about going to school.
Is that true? Thats so Bad. What is your name and where have you been to.
My name is Sonia and i am from Congo. I am going to Nairobi for business. I have been to Dubai so many times to get jweries to resell in Congo.
Thats nice. I said.
I have two children, one is 18 and the other one is 16. Would you like to marry my daughter?
Oh no. Shes too young and i am not ready to get married even soon.
Ok, Would you be coming to Nairobi after Kampala? She asked
Yes i will be spending two days in Kampala before coming to Nairobi.
I want to give you my number so that you can chat me up on whatsapp when you get to Nairobi
Okay, No problem.
I saved her number on my phone, not sure i will contact her when i get to niarobi though.

I had to exchange some Ugandan shilling. Its 3610UGX to a dollar

While also walking around. I foind this Building. Its comparable to our Mechanic village. But differently from Nigeria, its a nice structure and the Mechanics here are very composed and law abiding. They also have gaming room here where you can decide to play snooker or football bet and also this game as attached in the picture. I forgot the name
