Hey LibyaGirl....you camped out in Botswana!! I was born in India, but spent most of my life in Botswana - grew up there. Where did you camp...Moremi, or closer to the pans?

I LOVE the African bushlands!!

Talk about a small world!

hey, ravermania. that is one awesome place to grow up. why were you there? or more like what were your parents doing there?

i camped out in the middle of the mokolodi nature reserves and walked miles and miles to the highway every morning to hitchhike into Gaborone. volunteering my services at the princess marina hospital.

then i would hike miles and miles back to my camp ground. it was one amazing experience.

so what are you up to in the states now?

[libyagirl]

yeah, i know what you mean about homesickness. it's a completely different world over there. i still get really nostalgic when i think about libya.

i was there in the summer of '97 for three months in between college years. that was one hell of a summer!!!

what are you doing in baltimore? going to school there? or work?

if you happen to come clubbing in nyc you should let me know (email: libyagirl@yahoo.com). maybe we could meet up, say hi and swap stories.

We were initially in Zambia (the CA - Chartered Accountants - agency sent ppl over every once in a while, and my Dad worked with them). My Dad then got a job in Selebi-Phikwe in '83 and we've been there ever since. God, just writing this brings back sooo many memories. Things have changed quite a bit...a lot of growth has taken place. Ah, now I'm home-sick!

Thats so amazing what you did! I really admire you for volunteering your services to the hospital. When were you there (what year) and how long? Did you have any interesting run-ins with anything?

If you want, my e-mail is krish_ramadas@yahoo.com...drop me a line sometime, I'd like to hear your stories!
