If you're going to Zambia for a vacation or culteral visit, you are obviously interested interested in people, cultures, their way of life, etc. As i always find wherever i travel, if you take the time to engage people in conversation at their pace, you will be rewarded with courtesyand friendship. But you have to slow down, to perhaps 10% of the pace you'd be used to in EWurpe/USA.. This is part of the experience. I left Luanshya in 1981, and have happy memories. Leave a Comment

You're on a dirt road heading for a weekend camping and fishing in the bush. You stop at a village bar for a beer, or because of a puncture!. A man approaches you. He has in his hand what appears to be breadsticks. He engages you in a friendly conversation, because you are a stranger to the area and he is interersted to know more / curiousity. The conversation is going ok, you're relaxed, enjoying the interaction. He's snapping off these 'breadsticks' There's good music coming from the bar. People are dancing ( at 12.00 pm !) - they're really good dancers - moving like rubber. Eventually curiosity gets the better of you. You ask, what are you eating? He replies - chongololos. That's six-inch sun-dried millipedes to you and me. Time for a dance? [ More on the fishing, and hippos, later ] Leave a Comment

If you do, they will not be very pleased with you! If a female touches a Chameleon, she will believe she has become BAREN and will not be able to have children (its part of thier religion).
The men are not fond of them either, they will usually kill these beautiful creatures ASAP if they see them. Leave a Comment
