		<description><![CDATA[I snapped this picture of a Coca Cola bottle last week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: I thought it was cool to see the famous brand name printed in something other than English. In the Amharic language the four characters spell &#8220;Coca Cola&#8221; phonetically: Co-ca Co-la. The bottom part apparently says &#8220;Trademark.&#8221;]]></description>

Because there&#8217;s only so much to do in Kimberley (yes, I&#8217;ve seen the Big Hole), we decided to do take a road trip to see some new scenery. I had been looking at the map of South Africa and noticed that Lesotho, the small nation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a really big hole in Kimberley, South Africa. Aptly named &#8220;The Big Hole&#8221;, it is the largest hand-excavated hole in the world. While originally quite important to the development of the region (and the global diamond market in general), these days it is little more than a big pond for tourists to stare at!

The road from Mbeya to Dar is long, and we apparently picked the wrong bus, because it took over fourteen hours to get here (damn, do we really need petrol again, for the third time?). It was kinda unnerving to [...]]]></description>

Also, as it turns out, being stuck in Morogoro for a few extra days wasn&#8217;t as bad as we thought it was going to be. Our initial impression was so bad because the town is hot, dry and dusty.

It&#8217;s really far, but we&#8217;ve been to most of the cities in between before, so it doesn&#8217;t matter if we blow right through them. Other than [...]]]></description>
