Landed in Africa!

Plane just landed in Entebbe,Uganda. Driving to the capital city Kampala, then 4 hours to an orphanage in the countryside. The orphanage is located at ground zero of where the AIDS epidemic.

First impressions.
1. Very plush & green. More orderly & organized here in the city than I imagined. Reminds me of rural Mexico.

2. Every third building is a cell phone store!!! They are prepaid so the stores are like cell phone gas stations. This is actually encouraging.
A. The vision of every human in the world having a computer is within reach. IT WILL BE AN IPHONE! The iPhone just came here. Imagine after 50 years how this could unify the planet. It doesn't matter if you are in Indianapolis, NYC, Aarhus Denmark, Ensenada Mexico or Entebbe Uganda...everyone has same phones!

B. Mobile Money is a new way for Africans to store money! Like a banking system. It has really caught on and offers security in this region. I guess Bill Gates Foundation helped develop this to grow the society. Why can't we pay by phone in USA?

Other sightings.
1. A motorcycle carrying another motorcycle. Wish I had a pic :(
2. Guy with his cellphone tied to his moped. A mobile phone booth. He drives around and charges a small fee per call to folks without phones!
