Directions to my house via public transportation.

Just in case you ever want to come visit... or in case you ever thought it was complicated to direct people to your house...
.
From Kampala, get a bus/taxi/coaster to Masaka. Should be between 5000sh and 10000sh, usually about 7000sh.
.
Most likely, they will be going on beyond Masaka, so ask where they're headed (this is more the case for a bus/coaster, but also sometimes true for taxis).
.
-If they're going to Mbarara (toward Rwanda), ask the conductor if the bus will stage at Kyabakuza ("Cha-bah-koo-zah").
From Kyabakuza, get a taxi (approx. 1000-1500sh) or a boda (about 2500sh per person) to Bukoto "Town." It's a trading centre on this same road. A longish bumpy ride, so I don't recommend sitting double. Once you get to town, I can meet you, and first take you to my house (really close to the town "centre"--really the single intersection in the village). Or you can try to get a boda (they're not always around) to bring you to the school for 500sh. They know St Jude, or tell them the Parish. And of course, anyone can direct you to the home of Chairman Katongole/Nakaweesi/the muzungu.
.
-If they're going to Kyotera/Rakai/Mutukula (toward Tanzania), ask to get off at Kyanjale ("Chahn-jah-lay"). From Kyanjale, a boda to Bukoto "town" is 2000sh per person, or 1500sh to come to the school (it's on the way) (If you want this one, tell them Bukoto Parish. The Parish is at the top of a hill, and the school is on the way up, so just stop at the school). This way is a little shorter, but still bumpy and dusty.
.
-If the bus will not stage at Kyanjale or Kyabakuza, they should let you off in either Nyendo (for an Mbarara bus) or Masaka Town (for a Kyotera/Rakai bus). If so...
.
-From Nyendo (a suburb of Masaka), a taxi into Masaka costs 1000sh or a boda should be about 1500-2000sh. In Masaka, you want to go to the MoGas station on Kampala Rd (the same road that the bus or taxi or boda will come into town on). Don't mention this to the boda until you see the signs for Masaka, or he'll try to tell you that it is too far and you should pay more.
.
-Once you get to the MoGas station, a boda to "Bukoto Town" is 4000sh. Usually, they'll say 5000sh, and they will sometimes accept 3000sh if I fight, but 4000sh is "standard". Tell them to stop at the town center (a "large" intersection with a pool table).
.
.
If you want me to meet you in "Bukoto Town", call me from Kyanjale, Kyabakuza, or MoGas--it isn't any trouble and then I can first take you to my house.
