What we WILL miss the most

What we WILL miss the most, in no particular order:

Joel:
1. Hot weather in February
2. Living with the basics (not relying on electricity, internet, facebook, phones)
3. Mini-buses (with 22 friendly locals!)
4. The great people and the ten minute long handshakes
5. Our little-house community (Esther, Sylvia, Nat, Jackie, Susie, Rachel, Denee, Amanda, Julet, and Amy!)

Nat:
1. Mini-buses (regardless of condition)
2. Having conversations with 98% of the people you pass on the streets
3. Being chased by children down the road ("Makuwa! Makuwa! How are you?")
4. Thunderstorms
5. Hearing music on the street wherever you go

Esther:
1. Beautiful sunsets
2. Thunderstorms
3. Mini-buses
4. Oasis chicken souvlaki with Mongu rice and rape (green leafy vegetable)
5. Living with Joel, Sylvia, Nat, and Jackie

Rachel:
1. Thunderstorms
2. Genuine friendliness of the locals
3. Smiling and thankful children
4. Sunshine and heat
5. Beans and cribbage night!

Susie:
1. How friendly people are
2. Living with the basics
3. Seeing free wildlife in their own environment
4. The beautiful, serene landscape
5. The friendships made here

Sylvia:
1. Cheap ciders
2. Beans and crib night with everybody!
3. Mini-buses and cab drivers
4. Meeting so many people all the time
5. Sunsets and hot days and thunderstorms

  1. Yeah it's nice to not rely on smart phones and everything. It makes everyday life a little more interesting and down to earth to have just the basics!
    Though I will probably always be an advocate for indoor plumbing. :P
