Oh no

Well it happened I guess. I updated my blog and PC found it, now they can actually know what I write. I suppose I need to stop with things like Katie's PC Zambia motto of "its better to beg forgiveness then ask permission".

Other then that it also means some of the "new" kids in PC may actually end up reading the writings I claim are still in English. (my ability to use English has slowly dropped, and the worse part is if you think of where it was at before I came to Namibia, yikes.)

So with this in mind, I will highlight some of the major, major pluses of living in Caprivi. Like not knowing the language (i swear maybe 3 out of 15 people have conversations in our Bantu languages) does not really hurt you that much. I hope hope hope hope PC finally listens to every vol here in the region and teaches the next group that comes to Caprivi Sefaway or however the name is spelled for the people going to the mafwe side of the strip.

I also just said how much i dislike the desert. But its tropical here compared to many places, we have alot of natural fruits, lots of trees, things stay green most of the year. Like i said if you look at the caprivi strip on the map we have a river above and below. Most of Namibia's rivers seem to be little sandy area's that fill with water when it rains and are dry beds of sand right after. We have 70% of the birds found in Namibia.

Up north we don't have to really deal with nearly as many apartheid issues. So overall most of the stuff here is good. Its just so far from the rest of Namibia, like people on committees here just don't want to leave cause its a long two day trip normally, and you have to hike pretty far to get anywhere. Some of my counterparts or people from other parts of Namibia also feel that Caprivi is about where Kavango (the spot that connects Caprivi with the rest of Namibia) was 10 years ago. The up side is that if your not in Katima (like i happen to be) its closer to living in the heart of Africa. It has most of the feeling that I got from Katie's mud hut in Zambia. Really I am still a little disappointed that I came here and don't live in a mud hut. (mud huts here are about as good as houses, in every respect some even have satellite dishes hooked up to them.

Oh and if you are reading this, just remember, I am probably mostly insane at this point and am not a credible source of information for the most part.
