1. You can get coke products (especially fanta) everywhere for 3.5Pula. They do have a KFC, but no McDonald's. The more popular fast food chains are Nando's (chicken), Winky's (burgers), Hungry Lion (chicken), Debonairs (the afore mentioned pizza place), and Something Fishy (a fish place). No drive thru. You can get a lot of the basics here (including toilet paper), they just aren't the brands you are used too. Fresh milk only available in the whole milk variety. We finally found pretzels yesterday. The mexican food people say is available here still eludes us. Lots of chips, including beef flavored.
2. Guns are illegal in Botswana and only the army has them. Not even the cops. So.. no GSWs. (and I haven't seen a spear wound yet...I think that is more the Zulu's) Mainly lots of infections.
3. It is super hard to get a line here. (I'll let Becca talk about that adventure later) They don't have IO kits (they just use the biggest needle they have). And forget about central lines or cut downs.
Going on Outreach to people's homes today. Will tell you how it goes later.

Good luck honey! I also heard (not sure if it's true) that it is against the law to wear camouflage... not that I have much, but I believe I will leave it at home ;)
:-) dont know about that one. but, yeah leave it at home. the anti-poaching squad tends to shoot first and ask questions later. (they are like a special forces unit for poaching)
Got the boys deposited at Bush Airport @ 1:45pm today. They were excited and ready to head to see the "chicks".
