Valentine's Day

I cannot and will not forget the Valentine's Day. How could I? It is my grandfather's brithday. So I went to look for a nice card for him. But each year this process just pisses me off. Wherever I went, there were only those red Valentine's Day cards, mostly covered with roses or hearts.

You may assume that it would be different in this wonderful country close to the Equator. It is not! You will find such a broad selection of various types of cards for this single day. It is overwhelming. Just too much to cope with for an average male who just wants to buy a birthday card. Bit I found one.

So, next Monday, all restaurants will be packed with loving couples or (based on some recent experiences I should not exclude this motivation) women who like to have a decent dinner with someone who pays the bill. Sorry, it might be unfair, I know.

By the way: I thought we would be emanzipated, aren't we?
Where are those cards that men like? I ain't seen any of those in any shop in Kampala. Or are there chaps out there who fancy red roses or hearts on cards? Those ain't real chaps...
