What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I visited my school's library this week! As a library and information science master's student, I am interested in working within the library science field. I knew that I wanted to volunteer at a library while I am here on my Fulbright. Luckily, I was able to volunteer at my school's library! While there, I shelve books, run statistics, catalogue books and observe students during their study period to make sure they are actually studying. I have been really enjoying it so far!

Other Travel News from this week:

Many people get around Serowe using taxis, including locals. So much so that at Boiteko Junction Mall, which is the local mall here in Serowe, there is a whole space in the back of the parking lot dedicated to taxis where they park and where taxi drivers will take locals from the mall to wherever else they need to go to. Many children will take taxis every day to and from school rather than taking a bus to school.
