it'd cost like $3500

i saw a thing about travel, and it was a big trip, and i started thinking about what the biggest trip would be.

"other side of the world.  duh."

but that has a special name.  antipodes.  and it turns out that hawaii is apparently kind of special, because we fall directly on africa in that measure.

so, scrolling down.  Ghazi, Botswana.  ok.  so, is Botswana a cool place?  "According to Transparency International, Botswana is the least corrupt country in Africa and ranks close to Portugal and South Korea.[18]"  huh.  so you're telling me that there's a place i could go, find the exact opposite place on the planet from my apartment, and it's not super corrupt?  what?

ok, let's look closer, because this can't be true.  "The High Court in Johannesburg has described Botswana as a "pariah state not synchronized with the majority of African countries that have either abandoned or are refusing to implement the death penalty". "  ok, but to be fair, oklahoma jus tdecided that smothering people with nitrogen is totes ok, because they "got people to kill, and they got to get killed" (paraphrase).

so yeah.  a not-awful place i could go for super trivial reasons.  and they speak english.  what

do they have cool things to look at?

apparently ghazi is where they raise cattle.  ok.  so wear boots when i try to find my anti-apartment. got it.

travel advisory: USA: "Batswana living in the USA and those traveling to the US are urged to be more cautious in their travels to some areas within the US as safety is of a major concern."  lolololololololol! no matter what, Botswana.  you and i are friends now.  forever friends. <3

ok, here's the important part:  animals i could potentially see if i went there.  like, literally all of the 'animals that don't live here' animals.  they don't have tigers or bears, but that is all the other animals.  also gemsbok.  you're playing antelopes now, ok?

so $3500 + how ever much it costs to go see animals.  you should advertise more, Botswana.  "hey, we have all the cool animals, and we're not run by horrible dictators.  we're super cool."





also i wrote the notes for "office".  assuming my brain doesn't crap out for six months again, it'll be out in less than six months.
