One of the most memorable sights in the Ugandan capital Kampala is the taxi park. At the moment the New taxi park, one of the 2 taxi parks is under construction and as a result, there's a lot of congestion in the remaining park also known as the Old taxi park. A number of smaller parks have cropped up in different parts of the city to cater for the increase in number of passengers. A typical Ugandan commuter taxi is a battered 14 passenger Toyota Hiace. There's a lot of vending within the park of mostly refreshments.
Recently I have been intrigued by thousands of messages pinned at the back window of most of these taxis. The subject matter varies, from political, religious to simply naming children and spouses. I have tried to include a few in this work. On each of these windows, the owner wants to point out something.
