Things that are similar...but different

Here is a list of things that I've noticed are slightly different here in Botswana:
-"Coke Light" instead of Diet Coke
-Lots of Pineapple Fanta
-"Tomato Sauce" instead of ketchup, and it's spicy
-The norm is 3 1/2 spoons of sugar per cup of tea
-Different alcohol brands: "St. Louis", "Black Label", "Savannah Dry" are popular
-If you are living with other women, you'll probably see their chests a few times
-Bathing is called "Bath-ing"
-Driving on the left side of the road
-A very common sauce for rice is just ketchup&mayonnaise
-Along the street you can get a delicious buffet of food for about $2...normally rice/pasta/maize meal, fried chicken, sauce, beets, cole slaw, and/or grilled beef
-The ice cream man rides a bike and uses a hand horn to get attention
-Nice houses almost always have electric fences

That's all for now!
