Teach yourself the nsolo board game - and the time will fly even if you are waiting for something. And you will get new friends. Have somebody local teach you this strategy game. Leave a Comment

Zambia uses the 24 hour clock, so try to use it also when talking to the local people. Leave a Comment

This is how it's done:
First wash your hands in a dish of clean water that is offered to you. The order of washing hands is: the guests, elders, older adults, younger people and children.
Next, take a pile of nsima into your hand. Place it on you palm and roll a ball by using just one hand. When the ball is done, dip it to the sauce or whatever is offered with nshima and voila!
I have to admit that I was a bit suspicious at first, but once you get used to the idea, it's fun ;) Leave a Comment

National Flags don’t get more distinctive than this. The Zambian flag has a lot of colour and a large eagle in the bottom right hand side. The Green colour represents agriculture, Red represents the struggle for independence, Black stands for the Zambian people and Orange symbolizes Zambia's mineral wealth (particularly copper). The eagle is to symbolize the Zambian people's ability to rise above the nation's problems. It was adopted on 24 October 1964 on the day of Independence. Leave a Comment
