... but regularly spends time in Swaziland &#8216;getting the good stuff.&#8217; That&#8217;s herb, not sex. <br><br>&#8220;Swaziland is paradise,&#8221; he says. <br><br>So we cop a buzz, first in ages for me. It&#8217;s good, like visiting an old friend I haven&#8217;t seen in a long time. J*#n&#8217;s okay, too, good to volley a rap with. When I stop short after a few quick puffs, he&#8217;s not disappointed.<br><br> &#8220;As ...

... a few people who were due to get off the bus and it seemed even more waiting to get on. The bus is mini bus style with 19 passenger seats. The passengers getting on were all American and later I found out that they were traveling through 11 countries for 11 months on Christian missionary work. They were all about 20 I would guess. It turned out that there were two people left without seats. The Americans were actually pretty cool with it and insisted it was no problem to sit on ...

This was our only full day in Swaziland, and it was a good one. We left Mantenga at 8:30 after another good breakfast, and I was thinking that I liked the lodging and breakfasts of this program more than any other study abroad that I had ever done. The itinerary was nearly perfect, Rudolf the best guide possible, the bus as comfortable and spacious as we could ever expect, the prices good, and the group a nice one. The downsides were the problems in the first few days ...

I was out the door of our chalet by 5:45 am to go on a sunrise game drive, but the clouds overhead dampened my enthusiasm for seeing an African sunrise in the wild. It was cold again and I had 4 layers on my upper body, Suzan's scarf over my cap and anorak hood, and a blanket across my lap provided by Hluhluwe. We had a slightly better viewing experience than the night before, with the highlight being a close sighting of white rhinos. We saw ...

Contrairement a l europe, peu d etat en afrique sont encore des royaumes, le swaziland est un exceptions.<br>Peu de d attractions touristiques majeurs a part si on veut voir des rhinos noirs (ce qui n etait pas mon cas). Le seul veritable attrait se sont des ...

... you get on a bus, passengers will give up their seats to the white people and stand. I never experienced this b/c, newsflash, I'm not white. But I have heard this from others and it made them as white people feel uncomfortable. There is no way that things like that go on, w/o some resentment and racial tension resulting from it. But in any way, I gained a lot of valuable experiences and learned a lot about Swazi culture. One thing I really had a ...

... mother was not adminstering the medications well at all when she was in the clinic. so much so that she was giving way too much of certain meds and not enough of others. so it was so bad that they had to stop treatment for the baby.....knowing that without treatment, this baby (who is around 7 months) would die. but the medications are so complicated and serious that you have to do it properly. well the baby is really sick now. so we tell her to go to the hospital and get the ...

... lot of ezcema behind the ears, saw a few kids with that. But the most interesting patient I saw today was a guy who started on anti TB treatment 1 month ago and came to get his blood test for his liver. His tests were in the thousands and he was still waiting in the hallway. We called him in and then saw him sitting in the corner with yellow eyes (juandice). They say you can tell juandice by looking under someone's tongue and for years i have seen ...

... the drive. Started off pretty so so - it was dark so had spotties on either side of the truck. Saw a giraffe and elephant before coming across a male lion wondering up the middle of the road. Cool. He came pretty close so managed to get some photos but not super good quality due to lack of light. Still he was very impressive with his beautiful mane. Further long we came across a pride of female lions and their cubs. Adorable. Sat there for ...

... at around 6 PM and immediately joined in the que for dinner. They had this amazing chicken stew that was served over rice and this delicious potato casserole. The ladies cook it over the fire. We met these really nice English girls and we all headed to the bar after dinner. The bar's electricity wasn't working so we drank by candlelight. I tried a cider (Savannah Dry to be exact) and I became a fan. It tastes so much better than beer. The next day, we woke up and went on a long ...
