What Makes You Feel More Identified With Your Country| by @gladys-nanyanga

Hello Dear Steemians!!!
Hope you have had a lovely week so far. My week has been great, and that is a given in that I am in my lovely home Uganda.

This week, we have been asked to state what makes one feel more identified with one’s country. In my case, I would say, it is the culture and the climate. East or West, home is best, you know. Anyways, Uganda has a population of about 46 million people, which is quite sizeable for a small nation. There are about 56 tribes in the entire country, including 9 other tribes that were recognized by the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda.

With all those many tribes, there is always something new that I learn. It has been 23 years and I grew predominantly in Uganda. I still don’t know much and I am learning every day about not only my own tribe but the Baganda. Okay, that is most likely because I currently reside in Buganda region.😂

Uganda’s climate is described as mostly tropical, with clear sunny skies almost every day. Over the school holidays, I would spend my free time on the plains in the village, just laying back on the grass and enjoying the clean and fresh air.
Well, I have visited other countries and to tell you the truth, I am content with my country. I remember one trip I took to another country and the moment I got off the plane, what hit me was intense heat and humid air. But when I got back home, the clean and crisp air is what made me acknowledge that I was at home.

The people in Uganda are friendly, warm and welcoming. If you should ever get lost, whether you are a local or a tourist, you can ask any person for help. There are so many places to visit here and there is never a lack of activity for any weekend. It is what keeps the spirit up and everybody happy.

I am glad to be a Ugandan and to be associated with this wonderful nation. I cannot wait to read about what makes you feel more identified with your countries.
