I just back from working for an Ogilvy in Kampala Uganda. Kampala is a great country. i have some good connections there if interested.

I mean Uganda is a great country. Much netter than NYC.

isnt it war-torn at the moment?

Not really. There are some problems in the north but I never experienced anything in Kampala. Uganda is pretty stable right now.

I'm form Cape Town. It's a lot like an african berlin. very arty and cool, wicked party scene, very international standard of art

You better stick to South Africa in general. There are VERY few outside of this region. Possible a few in Kenya, but that place is becoming a sh*thole too now. There's plenty of British satellite design firms through Cape Town, probably quite a few in Sandton (JoBurg) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San…
