This is a short post, but I thought this was pretty funny. White people here are referred to as muzungus (moo-zoong-goos). Ugandans use this nickname often and commonly say "hello muzungu!" "how are you muzungu" – essentially, I am referred to as a muzungu at least 10 times a day. Dean went to town a few weeks ago and asked the grocery store to hold his box of groceries while he ran some errands. When he went back to pick up his groceries – the store assistant had labeled the box "muzungu man."
