What a place to visit- the great Mbabane, Swaziland!
Mbabane, Swaziland weather: It certainly seems that heat isn't something most people consider but when you talk about Africa, that can be a different story. Although, Mbabane, Swaziland seems to have a completely different kind of weather. Three days of rains appear to be coming this week! .
Event the BBC has a weather forecast for Mbabane.
Site Seeing- Allison could enjoy the Royal Swazi Spa over on Dr Sishayi and Gwamile Street. Maybe that is what needs to be done first in a site seeing venture. Tripadvisor.com has some awesome ideas of where to go!
Language: Even words in Swahili can be difficult to learn but doable. I figure with multiple computer languages and Google Translate a person (Like Allison Woolbert) with some base language concepts can learn quite a bit!
Greetings
Between peers: "Habari!" and the greeted answers, "Nzuri!". |
Between peers: "Hujambo?" (Are you fine?) and the greeted answers, "Sijambo!" (I'm fine!) |
Young to older: "Shikamoo!" (originally it meant "I touch your feet" as a sign of respect) and the greeted answers, "Marahabaa!" (I acknowledge your respect!). |
