They are VERY VERY friendly. As soon as you arrive to a small village, children run to the car to say you “hello” and sometimes to ask you for sweets… They are helpful although in the very small villages it is sometimes difficult to find adults speaking English. Teenagers are the best English speakers of the country!!! A great help!! Leave a Comment

Another striking feature of the Basotho dress is the Basotho hat or mokorotlo.
This hat has a conical form and a special adornment at top. It looks like the Qiloane pinnacle, the national symbol you can find near Thaba-Bosiu, the fortress of King Moshoeshoe.
Picture: Qiloane pinnacle as inspiration for the Basotho hat. Leave a Comment

do not be shocked,
it's not only aninsulator against heat,
also indication of adequate night protection;
the newness also indicative of ability to purchase. Leave a Comment

Women wear dresses or skirts. Pack light, summer in the US is winter in Lesotho with temperature getting to 35 degrees.
The best restaurants were the European restaurants. Tip is the normal 15 % Food great

You will notice that many of the homes have flags flying on a pole. The various colors represent what that home is offering for sale. Though, I cannot remember all of them, know that white colored flags normally have a large gathering. Unfortunately, it is due to a homebrewed concoction, that resembles curdled sour milk, some herbs thrown in for appearances and served in a big tin cup. It was utterly disgusting to me, but hey, others seemed to enjoy it. With alcoholism at very high levels in Lesotho, I certainly would not support this endeavor, but I am always up for trying anything, and so I did. Because I only had a sip, I could not rate the potency for you. Though, judging from this guy in the picture, it would be quite high. Leave a Comment
