Paved road
2012/08/28
It is about 340km from the capital city Kampala to Gulu. Main roads are paved, so it takes about 5 hours to get there. In developing countries amount of importing cars is large number, and preparation of roads doesn’t catch up the needs, so streets are tend to get choked. May the Lord protect us not get into traffic congestion.

Measures against mosquitos
2012/08/28
When I went to be vaccinated against yellow fever.
I took picture of an insect repellent medicine which quarantine station staff who came from Sendai recommended, which is too strong to be sold in Japan.
I thought I would use it with team members, so I send away for the medicine from Australia right away. (One on the left of 80％ Deet. In Japan 16% at most)
