First Impressions of Botswana

Gaborone seems so developed compared to Bangalore!

I feel a little bit like I've stepped into a movie or TV documentary or something. It's so strange to realize that I'm physically around the world from where I usually am. The history of humanity is pretty amazing when you actually get to thinking about it (which I am clearly doing, right now). Numerous cultures, languages and races developed at such geographic distances from each other, in such isolation that it was a surprise to discover each other. And yet we're all the same species. I guess anthropology isn't as fluffy a discipline as I tend to tag it as :P
