We finally reached the Malawi border at 10pm that night, but the Zambian immigration building didn't have any electricity, so all the people on the bus had their passports stamped by candlelight. Paige and I had been holding our bladders all day, setting personal records, and strategically sipping water throughout the trip so that we wouldn't have to go the bathroom. And believe me, everyone would have loved seeing our white butts from the bus windows. But, we're happy to say we made it to the Malawi immigration only to find out they didn't have a bathroom. We celebrated this news by peeing on the side of the immigration building.
African people are so warm and friendly that it really takes some getting used to.
They'll walk right up to you to shake your hand, offer help or information and be tickled pink that you are in their city.
