You know you're in a developing country like Uganda when...

children the size of cornstalks hold machetes longer than their legs.

you find topless women on riverbanks, not dance poles

stocking up on bottled water actually comes in handy

bouncers open the velvet ropes for white guys instead of girls in tight skirts

fast food chains are still a few years away...
everybody wants your glass bottles

people can't afford fresh fruit but have really cool ring tones on their cell

children are holding hands not throwing punches
women and children plow fields 
people offer the last morsel of food to a stranger and do it without hesitation

drying clothes becomes an ordeal, not an afterthought

cows randomly show up in people's homes and nobody bats an eye
strangers offer to drive you somewhere even if it means rearranging their entire schedule

children take care of smaller children

there's always someone burning garbage

people smile more

people actually care what your opinion is about the world

people take the time to find out how you're doing and what you think of their country

important phone calls get cut off because people run out of credit

the other person calls the first person back and then they run out of credit

the two people talking run into each other at the mobile shop buying credit
