In Malawi different words are used for familiar things, as we found out on our first night when we were invited at some South African colleagues’ house to our first Braai. A Braai is just a barbecue in this neck of the woods. Although we were beyond tired, not having slept in a real bed in over 2 days, we enjoyed the early evening, and the fresh air!
That’s right, Malawi is in the Southern Hemisphere, and it’s the winter… During the day it’s warm, short and t-shirt temperatures. But the evenings definitely require sweater and long sleeves. As far as those pesky mosquitoes, they are not too bad right now, but there are always present and as a precaution, we are all sleeping under mosquito nets, and we need to either stay in or spray with “Skeeter deterrent” in the evening.
