So, nothing has really happened since the last time I updated but I am going to add pictures this time. The girls and I did go to dinner at this nice Indian resturaunt with a guy we met at the grocery store which was an interesting experience. Apparently, if you are invited somewhere then the person who invited you pays for everything which he did for all four of us! It was really nice. He had recently started a microfinance company and is currently helping people start up businesses as well as having a project for orphaned youth. They live in a building that the company owns and they help pay for school fees, etc. as well as organizing trips for the kids during holiday seasons since that is what everyone else is doing. It sounded like a really cool business and the path that he has taken was really interesting to hear about. He wants to be our Botswana tour guide in a sense and has friends he wants to put us in touch with in case we decide to travel to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, etc. Then when we got back to the dorms there were protests going on and that was pretty crazy. The students that go to the university here actually get paid to go to school and when they are deprived a certain benefit or an ample amount of cash they protest I guess. Anyway, that is what was going on last night. It essentially means that very few people actually went to classes today which ironically enough also happens when they do get their allowances I have heard because they spend a week partying. :) My sociology professor actually showed up to class to day which was nice but he only stayed for like 10 minutes to tell us that he would give us the syllabus on Friday so we haven't actually done anything. It was the same for my Setswana class yesterday. That's about it for now.
