To the northeast of the Ugandan capital Kampala, there is a frenetically busy market town called Kalerwe.

Over the Christmas holiday and into the New Year, it was even busier. There is an insane roundabout that is always chock a block. In many places such roundabouts will have monuments of long-forgotten heroes, or some tacky sculpture of some animal.
