What is it like living in Botswana?
THEY DRIVE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE – WATCH OUT WHEN CROSSING THE STREET! Dress in Gabs is “westernized”. Pretty much anything decent is acceptable for men or women. People usually greet one another by saying “Hello” (even strangers) when passing on the street. “Dumela mma” (to a woman) or “Dumela rra” (to a man) is the minimum Setswana everyone should learn. Like much of the rest of the world people are not nearly as time driven as in the USA. So do not expect meetings, cabs, etc. to be precisely on time. Just relax and enjoy the saner lifestyle. Botswana is 6 (daylight savings) or 7 hours ahead of Philadelphia.
