Two hours into my bus ride to Butare, I began to get nervous.
Staring out the bus windows, I hadn't yet seen a sign for Butare, and I was anxious not to miss my stop. I finally found the courage to turn to the young man sitting next to me and sheepishly inquire, “Parlez-vous anglais?”
After he gave me a smile and a nod, I asked him why I hadn't seen any signs for Butare and if I had already missed it.
“Butare is Huye, Huye is Butare. A few years after the genocide, they renamed it,” he said.
