“IF YOU MARRY ME, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU…”

Being in South Africa for more than 20 days, I recognize and conclude that hissing to ladies - is a Men habit. Yesterday, as I crossed the road a man stretched his hand towards me and spoke in one of the native languages… he must have been saying Hello, BUT… what an awkward way to greet. He should thank the Lord I’m a adventurer or else the Ugandan in me would have been brought out at that point. :-)

As I walked this morning towards Park Meadows - a huge shopping mall in Bruma… a man’ run towards me speaking in tongues…I said the same thing I have said again and again… I don’t speak that language”. He walked off and I had my peace.

I can tell you thousands of such incidents that have taken place since I came but today evening as I walked towards the garage (Petrol station) to buy some credit, a man came towards me and spoke in South African English, (which by the ways is so difficult to understand) I will quote his words… “If you marry me, I will never leave you”.
Ha-ha! Geez… I was so puzzled to give an answer...my mouth and eyes said it all.

Can I conclude that it’s not just a Ugandan thing for men to propose out of the blue… could this be a world-wide thing?
