Greetings from Steffen's Team

Day 1 and 2

St John’s Guesthouse

After some small difficulties (for some students African Time already started in Istanbul) everyone had arrived at St John’s Guesthouse – a nice, and quiet place with friendly staff.

After a great dinner at a Indian restaurant where especially the Butter chicken seemed to be popular – at least among the waiters - we were ready for the first day of school. From St John’s we walked to school Monday morning ready to meet the MUBS students and get to know our groupmembers.

 ”Welcome to the pearl of Africa”

A very warm welcome from the MUBS faculty created a nice atmosphere and let the way to socializing and introduction between the students. After a second breakfeast with specialties from the Ugandan cuisine and another welcoming from the Dean we were ready to explore the strengths and weaknesses in the intercultural teams and the way was led for the Field study to begin. 

”White people like to be naked”

Yet, at the presentation at the Private Sector Foundation it seemed like everyone had the desire to take of their clothes off due to the heat and 40 people in a small room/sauna with no air condition. The representatives gave us a lot of interesting insights about the private sector in Uganda and especially some critical questions from the MUBS student increased the academic level of the debate. 

Bebe cool/Big size

Tuesday night everyone was invited to a concert with the one and only reggae master Bebe Cool – a great initiative taken by Kristina. The cool Kampala club Amnesia set the scene and the crowd was highly entertained by the great beats from local artists and a Champions League match on the big screen. A lot of hours were spent on the dancefloor by the MUBS and CBS students before Bebe Cool set the roof on fire.
