English is a difficult language sometimes. And I'm actually impressed by how many people know English very well here. On TV, the anchors and game show hosts switch effortlessly between Setswana (the national language) and English. It's very interesting and weird to listen to because you only understand about a third of what they're saying (because half is in a different language and they have thick African accents which makes a bit of the English hard to understand). That's my very accurate mathematical equation. I know, I've got mad skillz. Ha, ha!
Not much else has been going on here in Gabs. There's not too much to do here. I'm sure there's plenty if you live here, but we find ourselves trying to find things to do while we're here. There are two game reserves that we might go to tomorrow, and we're going to watch Transformers 3 later on, but in the mean time, we sit at this adorable cafe that has free wifi and good food.

For those of you who don't know Africa or the British system I feel like I should point out that erections is most likely what we'd call building construction. Gotta love things that get lost (or in this case added) in translation. ~Tim
