About Me

Kiggundu
Snake in a Pot is a Luganda proverb, which means ‘dilemma’. You are in a dilemma; if you attempt to kill it, you will break the pot and if you leave it you cant cook. Either way you wont eat! Perfect for this miserable blog! I was in a dilemma whether to keep my opinions to myself or share them. This blog is for fun, my opinions and random thoughts on almost anything but mostly related to my life, work or travel. I am interested in just about everything! Football, Movies, Reading, Scrabble, Music, Running, Travel, Food and Humanitarian Work. I also love clubbing, the Internet, meeting interesting people, growing stuff and writing. In between I try to be a good husband and father. I trained as an architect, but my occupation has evolved into mainly managing an architectural firm and construction contracts with just enough design to keep me in the profession. I also provide occasional training services to construction site based staff. I have lived in 3 countries since Jan 2003 courtesy of my expatriate wife. I am now back to Uganda after 15 years that took us Nairobi (Kenya), Accra (Ghana) and London (UK). In order to keep sane I write this blog. Enjoy!
