Since my return to Botswana, several inconvenient situations have arisen that, without any commentary from me, have prompted friends to look at me and say, sarcastically, “Welcome back to Africa.” I’m usually not a fan of sarcasm, but in these cases, they gave me a laugh and I think they might make you smile, too.
My co-workers and I found the vehicle we were assigned to drive to Mochudi was dangerously low on fuel. So, we made a bee-line for the petrol station—only to find the petrol station was out of petrol. Thank fully we were able to make it to another petrol station, fuel up and proceed safely to Mochudi.
Welcome back to Africa!
The internet was down on Wednesday leaving me feeling disconnected from the rest of the globe. Thankfully, this off-line time gave me an opportunity to relax and read on a beautiful day and once the internet was up and running again, I discovered I really hadn’t missed anything.
Welcome back to Africa!
Government workers (including boarder authorities) are staging a ‘go slow’ period and are threatening to strike over labor/ pay disputes. This has clogged up the boarders and made everyone a bit uneasy. I don’t know the outcome of this one yet, but previous frustrating circumstances have taught me that everything is going to be okay… I’m just hoping they keep the food trucks from South Africa coming.
Welcome back to Africa!
