Strange. It could be because Blogger was having some issues a few days ago. Anyway the university situation seems pretty much the same Gem. Kate, the old cheetahs were phased out yes, and the new ones are supposed to be here soon, but since I have become accustomed to "Botswana Time" 'soon' could mean eons from now. As for culture shock, it's not bad. I knew a lot about Botswana and Africa in general before I came here. Everyday I learn something new and typically once a day my heart breaks a little, but I love it here and not a lot surprises me.~Brandy~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11315120700855490723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190300640699766684.post-68373800712826269312011-05-17T11:10:37.322-07:002011-05-17T11:10:37.322-07:00Love your blogs, Brandy! they take me right back t...Love your blogs, Brandy! they take me right back to any typical day in my childhood..., unreliable electricity, alarms, even the cute vervet/green monkey (I had one as a pet-named 'George'). So glad you arrived safely and that you are settling in.

So you are currently not able to go pet Duma and Letotse? the "old" Cheetahs? They were starting to phase it out, but I thought they'd never do that because it was such a cash cow. That is good to hear! I recommend going on a rhino tracking, pretty awesome, and they're so rare, its a one in a million experience!<br /><br />How is your culture shock?<br /><br />Kate.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449875129330862090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190300640699766684.post-76860122399932315372011-05-12T09:14:10.341-07:002011-05-12T09:14:10.341-07:00Heyyy! YAY! So excited to keep up with your blog! ...Heyyy! YAY! So excited to keep up with your blog! They have combis in botswana too! So cool. Be careful though, I got pushed off one once because I wasn't exiting fast enough! Sounds like the perfect hustle and bustle! Hmm...interesting about the Universities because in Peru its free too IF you get high enough marks to get into public univeristy and from what I understand a degree from a private university has more weight. Also, there are loads of strikes so much so that 3 year degrees can take 5-7 years to complete. That's Peru though. Would be interesting to see if its the same there? I'm happy to hear you're having a blast! Keef safe and enjoy it love!Border-breaking boundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576380734951165455noreply@blogger.com
