I just got back from Entebbe in Uganda - The Pearl Of Africa ... my favourite destination AFRICA.
Doesn't matter where ... but i have a 'thing' for africa.
Probably, I was a black girl in my previous life ... came back in this life as a 'coloured' person.
God knows what's on my next life ... maybe 'white'?!
Anyways ....
I was there at the EQUATOR in UGANDA, standing between the equal distant of both North and South Pole, which is 9640 kilometres (6025miles).
1267 metres above sea level (3800 feet) and 0 degrees longitude.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. The average temperature is 22 degrees Celsius ( 72 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Boiling water measures less than 100 degrees Celsius.
3. Your weight is 3% less at the Equator line.
4. You are revolving 2409 miles around the globe at a speed of 1040.6 per hour about the earth's axis.
5. THIS IS A PHENOMENON! read on ...
21st March and 23rd September are equatorial equinoxies.
The sun rises and sets directly above the equator line. At this point of time, whoever are there by the equator ... you are shadowless! Cool huh! Hv to bid a flt to this very place to witness this act of God's miracle.
6. At this point, at the equator, water drops straight down ... REALLy! I witness this one, payment for this physics viewing for solo USH5,000 n in a group USH 10,000.
USH-Uganda Shilings ... US$1 = USH 3,600. Why not?! since i'm there already!
7. This is how It works....
It's the force of the magnetic fields that's down under us that does the job ...
If you are standing on the south side of the equator, water flows anti-clockwise down.
Now, fill up your sink with water, let it stay still then drain it ... you'll witness that the flow of water goes down twirling in anti-clockwise, that's if you are in the south of the equator ... whereas on the North it goes clock-wise.
Hmmm... quite an educational trip ...
The best part... i got pictures but not in my camera! ... dumb, huh! I was lazy to bring it coz the battery went flat and too lazy to charge it! Issh! the beauty of Africa was magnificent ...
I will rise early just to view the sunrise .. it's Subahanallah! Can't describe it! Will do tht trip again ... I promise to make a comeback to get my gorilla, craved beautifully out of a wood ... not sure wat wood that is?! But it's gorgeous! fell in love with it the moment i lay my eyes on it ...
Especially its ass!
