Let me share with you my last week's story.....Dear Reader, I have grown up going to Owino market but I still get lost....🤣🤣🤣. Yes, you read it right bro!. Last week I entered that market to shop for my monthly food and I had marked my entrance so well with a Red piece of cloth which I tied up on a piece of wood by the entrance. Guys!, I went deeper into the market and bought everything I needed on my shopping list. It was now time to exit. I moved around trying to locate my way out to the nearest park(Towards Ham Shopping mall-This mall is opposite the New taxi park) but do you know where I came out through?! My a$$ came through Kafumbe Mukasa Road and had to walk back like for 20 minutes to New Taxi park!. I laughed at myself and told me that I still haven't mastered the art of OWINO MARKET up to date!. So be vigilant while inside there and Don't lose Track like I did!....
