Getting to Know Gaborone

So there are some things that don't really fit into any daily story so I'm gonna mention them now. Glass, cats, style. One of the first things you notice about walking in and around the grass and dirt areas around the dormitories is the sheer amount of broken glass that is just lying around. In the sunlight it looks as if its a field of stars is just lying in the dirt. It's actually really remarkable. Needless to say don't walk around barefoot in the grass. Cats. There are so many stray cats roaming this campus. Kittens to cougars, this jungle of dirt and brick is their realm, and the rodents are their subjects and prey. Lastly, is style. As far as hairstyles are concerned, I find that probably half of the women have their hair cropped really short, the other half wearing their hair in braids. I would say that a close to scalp cut is favored by most men here. The last thing I want to mention about style would be the clothing. It's all fairly normal and all, but I want to remark at the type of clothing being worn now. Picture this in your mind's eye: Vivid blue skies. Sunshine lasting from here dawn until dusk. Need sunglasses to prevent yourself from squinting all day. 70 degrees Fahrenheit. At least. I saw a dude wearing a beanie, hoody and jeans. And it's not only him. Here we are, bunch of American's clad in shorts and tank tops, while everyone else wearing pants and a light jacket. Guess it really is winter. It's great to get other perspectives in life.
