CHOGM '07 COUNTDOWN

There's so much going on, but we've got it all covered...
 HANGING OUT
Ugandans love to have a good time, and there is no shortage of places to do that in any part of the country. The capital Kampala boasts some of the most remarkable night spots you will find in the region, but most of the major towns further away from the capital boast at least one decent night club as well. For the party animal, you will be pleased to find out that security in Kampala and most other parts of the country is very good, meaning you can go about having fun with no fear whatsoever. So let's get you started:
