Being here, it's hard not to compare this experience to our previous month away. Since nothing of interest happened yesterday we decided to post the list (so far) of pros for each country (in no particular order):
Romania
1. No annoying clicking sound of the alarm system in my bedroom.
2. People try to be very helpful.
3. The bus system is cheap and usable.
4. There is a better selection of food in the grocery store.
5. We were able to find a phone much quicker.
6. We have a TV with a few stations in English.
7. Our plug ins work so we can charge our electronics.
8. The clinic has pet dogs.
9. Much easier access to groceries and entertainment.
10. There are american stores/brands at the mall.
11. No one has offered to buy us (I suppose this could change).
12. They have Coke Zero and Fanta Zero
13. There is a farmer's market for veggies.
14. There are vampires and castles.
15. Our bathroom is much nicer.
Botswana
1. People speak English
2. There are cheap and reliable taxis.
3. Decent public restrooms.
4. We had a kitchen instead of a microwave.
5. We had a washing machine.
6. There was more than one computer to use.
7. We had seperate bedrooms.
8. Our cell phone instructions were in English.
9. Nandos
10. There were lots of outdoor activities in Gabs.
11. BiPai people to go out with/drive us places/give us ideas of what to do.
12. There were no crazy people on trains that we encountered
13. Somone did our dishes
14. Peanut butter
15. Lions/hippos/elephants
16. I was entertained by the goats in the roads.
17. I felt useful in the hospital.
So the current score is Romania 15 - Botswana 17. We'll see how it goes. - Becca

Have you guys been loking at the map of hits for your blog. No vladavostok Russia this time but you do have an Aussie. Do you guys know who in San Fran and Seattle are on the map. Also Vlad the water hauler must be covered by your spot on the map. Scott, if you are reding this, take some peanutbutter over with you for the vacation part of the adventure. Are you two Dr's getting to do Dr things? If you miss the animals from africa maybe you could see if there is a zoo.
