More Flip Footage from Week 2

This was taken while riding in a matatu (a minivan taxi that is normally packed with 15-20 passengers). We hired this one for our group visit to St. Jude's orphanage nearby Lacor hospital. The erratic pendulum swing of the rear view mirror is pretty telling of how the ride feels inside a matatu cruising down the village roads.



Outside Lacor, as our team is about to board a matatu. The road that runs in front of hospital is the country's major route to Sudan, whose border is about 65 miles further north. Across the road is a cluster of small shops, restaurants, and bars, where we found ourselves playing billiards during some of our down time. In front of these, there is also a group of guys hanging out on dirt bikes, the famous boda bodas. They're another taxi service option, especially popular with the late night crowds and those light on cash.
