America is ...

... just like Africa.

(This is my own theory, but) seriously, it's true. That's what hits you as you get off the plane. The red dirt, the intense heat, the long straight streets, the huge billboards on each side of it – little 'hello's' from Kampala.
I mean, I don't care if I'm supposed to interpret these facts as an 'Americanization' of precious Africa, but I saw them first near Lake Victoria, and it's forever gonna remind me of that beautiful piece of planet.
God bless Africa.
