Bush in Rwanda

American flags are flying beside Rwandan flags all over town. Security is visiable and there is a lot of it. It can only mean one thing - U.S. President George W Bush is coming to Rwanda. The new american embassy (which looks a lot like its counterpart in Ottawa) has just been completed so Bush is comint to open it this week. This means road blocks half an hour before the president leaves his hotel until his large entourage of black land cruisers passes by. It means lots and lots of security. The entourage has already arrived and has booked Serena in its entirety - the only 5 star hotel in Kigali- for more than a week. I don't even want to imagine what this is costing the american tax payers!
