Arrival in Nhlangano for the 1st Time

Traveled to Nhlangano for the first time, uneventful trip by bus and Khumbe. This is just a preliminary visit of a week. Meet Dennis again briefly

Got a small tour of the city which is probably about 30k in population at max (its the third largest city in Swaziland) remember there are only 1 million people in this country. That is like the amount of people on the 405 highway in 24 hr span.

Since my permanment housing isn't ready for moving in, the Peace Corp puts me up in a bed & breakfast, which is pretty much a 4 star hotel. AWESOME. There is TV but it only gets one channel, the SABC (South African Broadcasting Company)

half the programming is in Zulu (which is very similar to Swazi), and of course POWER, a flushing toliet & running water.
