Uganda Time in Action

Ruth: Hi, can I request a wakeup call please?
Front Desk: Yes madam, of course.
Ruth: Ok, thank you. For 6:30 tomorrow morning?
Front Desk: Yes madam, room 61, correct?
Ruth: Yes, that’s perfect, thank you.
Front Desk: Goodnight Madam.

7:45 am. Sun streaming through the windows, sounds in the outdoor corridor, and a rumbling in my stomach cause me to stir and then bolt upright and grab my watch. I have never dressed so quickly in my life, and was down in the classroom by 8:10 (we started at 8:30).

Perhaps the Front Desk meant Uganda time, which means the phone in my room should ring about 12:30pm.

Oh well.
