A night out in Kigali.

The website Xtranormal allows anyone to easily make videos by simply typing words into boxes for different characters.  Their motto is "If you can type, you can make movies".  I'd seen some pretty hilarious ones pop up onto people's facebook feeds - one was about a girl immediately turning into bridezilla after her boyfriend proposes, and another one showed an exchange between a bartender and a fussy client.  I decided to make my own about the expatriate hierarchy in Kigali and the video below is the result.  It's been viewed almost 500 times (as of me writing this), so people must think it's generally pretty funny.

There are a few Kigali inside jokes (for example, waraji is a cheap Ugandan gin that locals love - drinking it gets you street cred), but most of it should ring true for anyone who's ever worked in a place where your job determines 92% of who you are as a person and where you stand in the world (such as Washington DC).

  1. Wow, sounds like you had an amazing time exploring Italy and its vibrant automotive culture! It must have been quite a sight to see those flashy cars like the red Ferrari and the yellow Lamborghini. Italy is indeed a paradise for car enthusiasts with its rich history of luxury and performance vehicles.rentacardubai-chauffeur
