FDI reach $2.9 billion end-April
By Lee C. Chipongian
The country's net foreign direct investments (FDI) as of end-April amounted to $2.9 billion, down 14 percent year-on-year from $3.4 billion, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said.

For the month of April, net FDI inflows was at $961 million, also lower by 11.8 percent from $1.1 billion same time in 2019.
The BSP however said that in April, all FDI components such as equity capital, reinvestment of earnings and borrowings between affiliates all registered positive balances.
BSP Governor Benjamin E. Diokno said since the BSP's 2019 estimate for net FDI is a minimum of $9 billion, they are positive about FDI growth since "it could be higher".
"We're very comfortable," he said, citing that the country's steady sources of inflows such as remittances, BPOs and tourism receipts.
Diokno said globally, the trend is a slowing FDI flows, that in other countries, FDI is declining. For the Philippines it is the opposite.
He said FDI here is increasing — "that shows confidence (in the Philippines)." He said because of the recent credit rating upgrade including S&P Global, the declining inflation, among others, there is "renewed confidence" in the country's growth prospects and this confidence, he said, is increasing.
"We're doing great," said Diokno. Last year, net FDI reached $9.8 billion. The previous projection for net FDI was $10.2 billion for 2019 but the BSP recasted its estimate due to the volatile global economy and markets.
In a statement, the BSP said that net inflows of net equity capital in April slipped by 85.5 percent to $39 million from $272 million same time in 2018.
"Equity capital placements emanated largely from Thailand, the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. These were channeled mainly to (these sectors): financial and insurance; real estate; manufacturing; electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply; and construction industries.
The BSP said non-residents' investments in debt instruments — mainly loans extended by parent companies abroad to their local affiliates – went up by 12.6 percent year-on-year to $830 million. Reinvestment of earnings reached also increased by 14 percent to $92 million.
For the January-April FDI of $2.9 billion which was lower than last year's $3.4 billion net inflows, the BSP said this was "on account of the decline in net equity capital investments as placements (which) dropped by 44.5 percent to $712 million from (and) coupled with a 204.9 percent increase in withdrawals to $377 million from $124 million during the period."

1989 - Leadership And Unconditional Love
Al (L) and Anne (R)
The kids called him "Poppy." Lee Anne's dad and a guy I truly admire. I gained so much from him and from his family.
Of course, a wife and three children and so much more. He was always looking and would have the final words of wisdom on nearly any topic.
To say that Al was old school is of course the best way to describe him. A man who did not say sauce, but always wanted more gravy on his pasta. I am grateful for so much and so many memories.
Some of the stories are told and re-told. The trip to the Japanese hibachi place. "Someone needs to tell these people who won the war." The Easter in Flagler with the stories of the "Hill." Or the infamous dinner with the vice guy for Los Angeles County Sheriff's who was on the hunt for bookie operation not far from the house on Olive Street. Talk about cool and collected. I was sweating and Al never even blinked an eye.
I remind Lee Anne of how old tree's can break in the wind and young trees will always bend. It seems fitting to share this story on Father's Day. The biggest lesson I got from him was that that he instilled in his family. My experience with unconditional love came from Al and his family and Lee Anne.
It was never something that occurred to me naturally. I still struggle in many ways. From the very first holiday dinner that I spent at the Olive Street home (Temple City, California), it was evident. That next Thanksgiving in 1990 I was invited and just a little nervous. Lee Anne's had already introduced me to him. "This is my dad. He's Italian. From Rhode Island." The implication was there. I got a handshake and a hug.
After dinner Lee Anne and I sat on the porch and I asked about why everyone was angry at each other. She had no idea what I meant. I explained that at dinner it was loud and they were all talking over one another and it seems that everything was an argument. She laughed a little and explained that was just a typical dinner time discussion during a family holiday. We walked in the house and everyone was still at the table and dessert was served and there were smiles and more talk. It had not occurred to me that this is what family could be like.
A family that could love and laugh and argue and enjoy one another and shout a little. I am blessed for the lesson and I am forever grateful for Al and Anne and Michelle, and Pam and Robin and Stephanie (see Steph, I mentioned you) and Aunty Ro and the husbands and nephews and Samantha and all the rest of the family that welcomed me and helped me learn how to love unconditionally. Thanks Lee Anne for sharing this family that is so rich and never seemed to question that I would fit in.
Thank you for the 30 years as I have journeyed along my 50 plus years in these United States. I can't think of a better person to honor today and thank for being "Poppy" to my kids.

A New Era: 2012-13 Vanderbilt Men's Basketball
Tomorrow at 4:00 marks the first regular season game since 2009 that we will be seeing entirely new faces in the starting lineup for the Commodores. While some of the players served in supporting roles last season, there is much uncertainty surrounding the Vanderbilt basketball program for the coming year. Certainly, the two exhibition showdowns have been tantalizing, but time will tell how our youth will rise to the occasion in what should be a talent-packed SEC.
Vanderbilt matches up against Nicholls State tomorrow, and it will certainly be interesting to see how the guys who were waiting in the wings behind NBA players Jeff Taylor, John Jenkins, and Festus Ezeli will rise in their roles. Without question, the cupboard is not bare, though growing pains are inevitable for a squad that lost its top six rotation players and the vast majority of its scoring. The team will rely heavily on former rotation cogs Kedren Johnson and Rod Odom. Kedren especially, and to a lesser extent Rod, have flashed ability, and Vanderbilt will need both to rise up if the Commodores hope to position themselves for future success.
The off-season and exhibitions have produced some good news and some bad news. On the good side, Josh Henderson is back sooner than expected from injury, adding badly needed post depth to a team depleted by the loss of Lance Goulbourne, Festus Ezeli, and Steve Tchiengang. In addition, James "Bamba" Siakam has shown in both exhibition matchups the ability to be a "lunch pail" type of player around the glass, something this squad will sorely need given it's lack of size. Finally, the Commodores pulled in a talented, albeit raw, trio of Small Forwards in Kevin Bright, Sheldon Jeter, and A.J. Astroth. All have ability, but all will need time and patience to develop within Kevin Stallings scheme.
On the bad side, the Commodores are playing an indeterminate amount of time without highly-rated shooting guard Dai-Jon Parker, who was expected to occupy the starting role next to Kedren in the backcourt. While the hard work, determination, and play of Kyle Fuller is a huge part of this squads success, Parker is the type of lock-down defender this squad needs, and arguably its best athlete. I'll take Fuller and Johnson as the starting backcourt initially, but a rotation of all three is the strength of this squad.
Finally, a note about the state of the program. I recently had a solid debate with folks over on the Vandy Sports message boards, as well as took some thoughts to Twitter about us missing out on three-star forward Schuyler Rimmer. I have been frustrated by how our recent success has not translated into recruiting as of late. This is not a knock on our present players, all of whom I am quite pleased with. This is simply an observation towards the future. Damien Jones was an enormous get for this program because he fills a huge need for us in the future. Still, fans have every right to be somewhat disenchanted by the fact that we won only one tournament game with three NBA players over three years, and further that we missed out on next-level type targets such as Alex Poythress and Austin Nichols. It is not a stretch in the least to wonder if this program has plateaued, and whether fans should get used to this being as good as it gets or whether we can really bump into the top 15-25 range perennially. How this team fares, both this year and next, will go a long way to making that determination. But that conversation is somewhat premature, as the present squad needs every opportunity to show what they have got. After all, CKS has always had a knack for suprising us.
It's basketball season ladies and gents, and I am always pumped for basketball season. Go Dores!
I am a huge fan of basketball. love to watch Vanderbilt Men's Basketball match live.

Every two years, the United States elects a new Congress to carry on the people's legislative business. The election last month will have the Democrats in control of the House of Representatives and the Republicans with an additional two seats in the Senate. While this has some profound implications for the political environment of the country, what does it mean for future numismatic-related legislation?
The American Legion 100th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Program will be issued in 2019 along with the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Commemorative Program. The American Innovation $1 Coin Program will also begin in 2019 that will likely be as successful as the Presidential $1 Coin Program. Someday, Congress will learn that to see any success with the $1 coin that they have to eliminate the $1 paper note.
Through November, Congress has not acted on any numismatic-related legislation. There have been updates on various bills as the current Congress shuffles papers and as others try to attract additional co-sponsors in order to gain notice by the majority leaders.
Given the current state of chaos in Congress, it is difficult to predict what will be passed in December.
The 116th Congress will convene at noon on January 3, 2019, as required by the Constitution. Most of the first day is set aside for procedural issues including the formal election of leadership. Both chambers will then introduce their respective first bills which formalize the budget. This has been a tradition in Congress dating back to the Reagan Administration. It has also been a tradition for these bills be the biggest source of contention between the parties.
For the last three congressional sessions, the Republican-controlled House Financial Services Committee created a rule that required two-thirds of the members to co-sponsor any commemorative coin legislation to be considered. In reality, this has not helped or hurt any potential legislation since many of the bills that have passed have barely been debated in committee and have been passed by unanimous consent.
It is not known if incoming Financial Services Committee Chairperson, Maxine Waters (D-CA), will keep the same rules. Given the recent history of contentious relations between the parties, it would not be surprising for Waters to dust off the rules from the previous Democratically-controlled House for this session.
Congress has not passed a commemorative coin bill for 2020 and later. It could happen in the lame-duck session. Then again, anything is possible!

Closing Soon: Yoram Wolberger, Kim Rugg, and Josh Azzarella Featured in "GENERATION W(ar)"
Featured Work by YORAM WOLBERGER
Torrance Art Museum (TAM) presents a bold summer exhibition exploring the intersection between art and warfare, enlisting 16 artists who reflect a world of increased military engagement across the globe. Utilizing a wide range of media in its artistic arsenal, deftly maneuvers through the defining trait of our conflicted times to investigate the invisibility of things in plain sight and the daily relationship to war that underlies the culture at large.
Featured Work by JOSH AZZARELLA
Internationally renowned contemporary artists Vanessa Beecroft and Shaun Gladwell are among the assembled artists who focus their art practice toward political expression and social critique of the institutionalization of war into the fabric of society.
21-year olds have never lived during a time when the US was NOT at war. How and where can we see this reflected in the art works of our time? Where does patriotism end and nationalism begin? How much militarism in a democracy is too much?
Curated by Ichiro Irie and Max Presneill.

Opening Today: OUT OF CONTEXT – An Exclusive ARTSY Online Group Exhibition
Image: Ed Ruscha
"There are things that I'm constantly looking at that I feel should be elevated to greater status, almost to philosophical status or to a religious status. That's why taking things out of context is a useful tool to an artist. It's the concept of taking something that's not subject matter and making it subject matter." —Ed Ruscha
In "Out of Context" we look at seven contemporary artists that have made the incorporation of text and language a cornerstone for their art – both conceptually and visually. Each artist approaches the subject from their own unique perspective. Artists featured are: Ed Ruscha; Mark Bennett; Kim Rugg; Vernon Fisher; Kay Rosen; Feodor Voronov; and, Ken Craft.

Texts—writings, readings, signs, titles, guides, catalogues, blog posts like this one—are part and parcel of how art is presented in museums. Curious visitors come hungry for enlightening information, for tidbits to connect the dots or stories that humanize the work on view. Art historians act as writers, readers, and investigators whose success can be measured in published output. For those who work with art and appreciate it, language and art are endlessly intertwined.
The history of text and language in contemporary art encompasses most of the last 60 years. Language was an important tool for Conceptual artists in the 1960s. Many used language in place of more traditional materials like brushes and canvas, and words played a primary role in their emphasis on ideas over visual forms. Though text had been used in art long before this, artists like Joseph Kosuth and John Baldesarri were among the first to give words such a central role.
Conceptual artists also used language in the form of instructions detailing how an artwork should be made. Sol LeWitt was among the principal originators of this strategy, which his peers widely embraced. Arguing that ideas alone can be art, he allowed for a measure of separation between the artist and the physical execution of his or her artwork. His work exemplifies this: he would generate ideas for artworks and write instructions on how to make them, which other people—sometimes whole teams working days or weeks—would then carry out.

At about the same time, a cultural revolution was underway, led by activists, thinkers, and artists who sought to change, and even overturn, what was, in their eyes, a stifling social order ruled by conformity. The Vietnam War incited mass protests, the Civil Rights Movement sought equality for African Americans, and the women's liberation movement gained momentum.
It was in this climate of turbulence, experimentation, and increased consumerism that a new generation of artists emerged in Britain and America in the mid- to late-1950s. These artists began to look for inspiration and materials in their immediate environment. They made art that mirrored, critiqued, and, at times, incorporated everyday items, consumer goods, and mass media messaging and imagery. In reference to its intended popular appeal and its engagement with popular culture, it was called Pop art.
Pop artists strove for straightforwardness in their work, using bold swaths of primary colors, often straight from the can or tube of paint. They adopted commercial advertising methods like silkscreening, or produced multiples, downplaying the artist's hand and subverting the idea of originality and preciousness—in marked contrast to the highly expressive, large-scale abstract paintings of the Abstract Expressionists, whose work had dominated postwar American art. Pop artists favored realism, everyday (even mundane) imagery, and heavy doses of irony and wit.
But many Pop artists, including Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, were very aware of the past. They sought to connect the traditions of fine art with the mass culture of television, advertising, film, and cartoons. At the same time, they challenged traditional boundaries between mediums and techniques, merging painting with photography and printmaking, combining handmade and readymade or mass-produced elements, and bringing together objects, images, and sometimes text to make new meaning.
It is out of this convergence of Pop Art and Conceptual Art from the Sixties that artists like Ed Ruscha and Vernon Fisher were born and influenced generation of artists to follow, like Mark Bennett; Kim Rugg; Kay Rosen; Feodor Voronov; and, Ken Craft. From this collision of pop culture and high art, we find that some of the most interesting art and ideas born of this period are nothing more than our own lives taken Out of Context.

Featured Show of the Week: Okay Mountain "Staycation 2019" – An Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition
Mark Moore Fine Art is pleased to present "Staycation 2019," the gallery's third solo show from Texas-based art collective Okay Mountain. Parodying the American tradition of stay-at-home vacations and the consumerist promises of an escape from the mundane, the nine-member group has created a series photographic works, an installation, and a sound collage for the exhibition.
YOU CAN VIEW THIS EXHIBITION NOW AT: http://bit.ly/2JnJtDP
Formed in 2006 as an artist-run alternative gallery space, Okay Mountain has since gone on to create installations and multi media assemblages that riff on the American reverence for commerce. Repackaging our consumerist desires with a sardonic edge, the installations mimic the stock vernacular of our communal materialism, yet tweak them just enough to reveal our superficial insecurities and convictions.
In "Staycation 2019" the group plays on the iconography of the Zen Garden, as seen through the eyes of western popular culture. Creating a purposely-mediated experience of "Zen," the installation poses as a pre-packaged version of what could have been a meaningful experience, if the consumer had bothered to leave the house. Like the screensaver images of peaceful monuments floating across a laptop, the imagery plays on a desire for escape, but also immediacy—one desire ruling out the other. The result is a razor sharp wit interpretation of a very American mixture of banality and good intentions — an eagerness for a respite from the mundane, without the will to see it through.
While most artists in Okay Mountain are alumni of the University of Texas at Austin (TX), others are graduates of University of California Los Angeles (CA), Rhode Island School of Design (RI), and the University of Kansas (KS). Institutional exhibitions have included those at the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston (TX), Austin Museum of Art (TX), McNay Art Museum (TX), Arthouse (TX), University of Tennessee, Chattanooga (TN), and the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (MA). Their work is included in the permanent collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (CT), McNay Museum of Art (TX), Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (CA), Santa Barabara Museum of Art (CA), and Vanderbilt University (TN).

Zemer Peled in "Cool Clay" at the Crocker Art Museum featured in ART DAILY
I thought you might be interested to know that Cool Clay currently on view at the Crocker Art Museum is featured on the front page of today's ArtDaily.com, and includes an image of Zemer Peled's work (scroll down and you'll see it on the right hand side):
The link to the full press release is: http://artdaily.com/news/115413/-Cool-Clay–acquisitions-highlight-experimental-nature-of-ceramics#.XTXpefJKhph
Zemer Peled utilizes a process of creation and destruction to make sculptures consisting of thousands of handcrafted porcelain shards resulting in works that can be read in relation to art historical tradition, outsider art, and natural phenomena.
The sculpture's narrative impulses lean to encounters with the otherworldly—like complex topiaries marking a not-so-distant land–yet they remain distinctly tied to earth's patterns. This conflation of the foreign and familiar creates a frenzied dislocation in the work. Inspired by migratory habits of birds, a sweep of feathers, and cycles of change, the works spiral outwardly in rhythmic patterns, interpreting not only the dynamism of nature, but also the startling strangeness of a life lived in transition.
Peled's work examines the beauty and brutality of the natural world. Her sculptural language is formed by her surrounding landscapes and nature, and engages with themes of memories, identity, and place. Her sculptures and installations consist of thousands of hand-crafted porcelain shards; a technique that yields a texture both delicate and severe. In some works, large scale-like ceramic pieces appear airy, delicate, and fluffy, as if one's breath might break it. In others, Peled's fragments are geometric barbs that mysteriously take on an alluring form – offering a sense of softness despite a sharp actuality. She has recently been featured in Hi-Fructose Magazine, Colossal, National Public Radio, MIND Magazine, O Magazine, and Ceramics Monthly (which featured her on the cover of the May 2015 issue).
Zemer Peled (b. 1983) was born and raised in a Kibbutz in the northern part of Israel. After completing her BFA from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design (Jerusalem), she earned her MA at the Royal College of Art (UK). In recent years, her work has been exhibited internationally, including such venues as Sotheby's and Saatchi Gallery (London), Eretz Israel Museum (Tel Aviv), the Henry Moore Gallery at the Royal College of Art (London), and the Orangerie du Senate (Paris), among others. The artist currently lives and works at the Archie Bray Foundation Residency (Helena, MT). Additional information on this incredible artist can be found on our website at: www.markmoorefineart.com

The exhibit features artists like Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Jenny Holzer, Keith Haring and much more, all curated by Billie Milam Weisman; president and director of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. Each piece of art on display offers a critique of idolization and commercialization of pop culture through recognizable characters and brands.
When the Pop Art movement first surfaced in the mid 1950s artists sought to challenge traditional conceptions of art-making by incorporating consumer culture and everyday objects into their work. Artists during this period transformed icons associated with mass media, comic books, and popular culture into visual expressions that often reflected a growing societal infatuation with consumerism. When it originated, the Pop art movement sought to ironically emphasize images representing the commonplace or kitschy elements of a given culture. Today, contemporary artists have elaborated on the traditions established by the Pop artists who created an aesthetic style that reflected the changing needs and interests of varying societies. This exhibition merges art that reflects and comments on POPular and unPOPular culture and vernacular of the 1960s to the present with selections curated from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation.

Never noticed this. I changed coordinates of an event significantly, I'll bet about 3/8 of a mile to another section of a Park. Although the Google Maps link showed the updated coordinates immediately, the thumbnail map on the cache page (which can be clicked to enlarge as a pop up) took a good two days to update, unless I'm crazy. We don't have any so called cron jobs that run any later than once a day, but that's what happened to me with the map. Consider this an FYI, if it ever comes up.

However, Stonemarket understands that regulation and auditing are essential to ensure international governance and ethical trading with developing countries.
Stonemarket has teamed up with a number of our Stockists to create the Ethical Partner Scheme. Stonemarket only import ethically sourced natural stone that uses no child labour and where workers are paid living wages and have proper health and safety equipment.
Stonemarket′s Ethical Partners have pledged to stock only Stonemarket ethically sourced stone imported stone so that you, our customers, can be absolutely sure that you will be buying stone that has been ethically manufactured.

LAS VEGAS, US, 15 May 2015 (AP) B.B. King, whose scorching guitar licks and heartfelt vocals made him the idol of generations of musicians and fans while earning him the nickname King of the Blues, died late Thursday at home in Las Vegas. He was 89.
His attorney, Brent Bryson, told The Associated Press that King died peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 p.m. PDT. He said ffuneral arrangements were underway.
Although he had continued to perform well into his 80s, the 15-time Grammy winner suffered from diabetes and had been in declining health during the past year. He collapsed during a concert in Chicago last October, later blaming dehydration and exhaustion. He had been in hospice care at his Las Vegas home.
For most of a career spanning nearly 70 years, Riley B. King was not only the undisputed king of the blues but a mentor to scores of guitarists, who included Eric Clapton, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall and Keith Richards. He recorded more than 50 albums and toured the world well into his 80s, often performing 250 or more concerts a year.
King played a Gibson guitar he affectionately called Lucille with a style that included beautifully crafted single-string runs punctuated by loud chords, subtle vibratos and bent notes.
The result could bring chills to an audience, no more so than when King used it to full effect on his signature song, "The Thrill is Gone." He would make his guitar shout and cry in anguish as he told the tale of forsaken love, then end with a guttural shouting of the final lines: "Now that it's all over, all I can do is wish you well."
"Sometimes I just think that there are more things to be said, to make the audience understand what I'm trying to do more," King told The Associated Press in 2006. "When I'm singing, I don't want you to just hear the melody. I want you to relive the story, because most of the songs have pretty good storytelling."
"I've always tried to defend the idea that the blues doesn't have to be sung by a person who comes from Mississippi, as I did," he said in the 1988 book "Off the Record: An Oral History of Popular Music."
Fellow travelers who took King up on that theory included Clapton, the British-born blues-rocker who collaborated with him on "Riding With the King," a best-seller that won a Grammy in 2000 for best traditional blues album.
Still, the Delta's influence was undeniable. King began picking cotton on tenant farms around Indianola, Mississippi, before he was a teenager, being paid as little as 35 cents for every 100 pounds, and was still working off sharecropping debts after he got out of the Army during World War Two.
Through his broadcasts and live performances, he quickly built up a following in the black community, and recorded his first R&B hit, "Three O'Clock Blues," in 1951.
He further expanded his audience with a 1968 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival and when he opened shows for the Rolling Stones in 1969.
Other Grammys included best male rhythm 'n' blues performance in 1971 for "The Thrill Is Gone," best ethnic or traditional recording in 1982 for "There Must Be a Better World Somewhere" and best traditional blues recording or album several times. His final Grammy came in 2009 for best blues album for "One Kind Favor."
"I was a regular hand when I was 7. I picked cotton. I drove tractors. Children grew up not thinking that this is what they must do. We thought this was the thing to do to help your family," he said.
After he broke through as a musician, it appeared King might never stop performing. When he wasn't recording, he toured the world relentlessly, playing 342 one-nighters in 1956. In 1989, he spent 300 days on the road. After he turned 80, he vowed he would cut back, and he did, somewhat, to about 100 shows a year.

Submit a Review About Botswana
A clean, safe and sunshine-filled country, Botswana lies immediately to the north of South Africa. Its neighboring countries are Namibia on the north and west part and Zimbabwe on the north eastern side. It is also connected by a narrow strip of land on the northern border of Zambia.
Since the country's independence in 1966, the landlocked Botswana has been considered as "Africa's success story." This peaceful country is also described as the land of starkest contrast.
Botswana is one of the few remaining destinations in Africa that still provides a thrilling safari adventure for vacationers all over the world. The open game parks and preserves, while presenting wildlife a diverse and rich environment, are still undeveloped and untamed...making Botswana safari vacations an adventure travel must!
Most of Botswana's tiny population is concentrated in the kinder, more fertile southeast part of the country leaving a huge portion covered by the Kalahari Desert – a combination of sand, savanna and grassland environment. Although these areas are sparsely inhabited by humans, it is one of the richest wildlife regions in Africa and lets you experience a Botswana vacation that is sure to remain in your memory long after you've shaken the Kalahari sand out of your boots.
What makes Botswana a must-see destination and vacation travel spot in Africa is the fact that it offers travelers an amazing wide range of pure, untouched environments and typical safari adventures that will definitely prove that there are wild places still left in the world today.
The country experiences extremes in both temperature and weather. Peak season falls during the dry winter months between May and August where days are normally clear, warm and sunny, and nights are cool to cold. Wildlife in these months becomes increasingly concentrated around water sources so sightings are more predictable than in the wetter summer season. This is also the time for school holidays in the North American, European and most importantly South African region so some areas can be busy between mid-July and mid-September.
Summer months from October to April can cause sandy roads to be impenetrable. This is the time that wildlife is harder to spot and where highest humidity and scorching heat is experienced. Don't ignore the rainy summer months between November and April too: the season offers a fantastic view of bird watching and lots of new-born animals.
Cuisine and Drink
Botswanan cuisine is unique in South Africa, yet it shares some of the recipes of its neighboring countries. One of the most distinct and popular traditional meat dish made for most special occasion is the Seswaa or Chotlho. This is a heavily salted mashed up meat usually cooked by the locals in three-legged iron pots.
Another popular dish is the Serobe made from the intestines and other inside parts of goat, sheep or cow which are cooked until soft. Another common dish is porridge (bogobe). It is usually made by putting maize or millet flour into boiling water and stirring until it becomes a soft paste. Sometimes the maize is fermented and milk and sugar is added to make a dish called ting.
Bread enthusiasts will also find a good variety of bread recipes on their Botswana vacation that have become part of the national food. The most common are fat cakes (magwinya), flat cakes (diphaphatha) and dumplings (matemekwane).
For refreshments, there are soft drinks and alcohol drinks that are made in Botswana factories like Fanta and Coca-Cola. There are also local brands like Castle and Lion Beers. On the other hand, a famous non alcoholic homemade drink is the ginger beer.
Watermelon, said to have come originally from Botswana are also plentiful in season.
Popular Vacation Spots
Botswana is home to some of the world's greatest wildlife destinations: the remarkable Okavango Delta, an immense green oasis in the center of Kalahari and the Chobe National Park where the ground literally grumbles beneath the feet of thousands of elephants.
Okavango Delta – this inland river delta is one of the most delightful places on the continent for a safari vacation. You can reach the delta via small boats or even dugout canoes which provide a certain calmness that is difficult to achieve using a land rover. Elephants, zebras, giraffes and other large game species found sanctuary in Okavango but the park's strong point is in its myriad of small islands that is abundant owith plant life, birds and absolute splendor. As expected, common in this park are hippos and crocodiles. Fishing is also superb in the northwestern area.
Moremi Wildlife Reserve – this is located in the northeastern part of Okavango Delta and merges the attractions of the delta with a more concrete landscape. It is a marvelous reserve that embraces a wide variety of ecosystem and a sufficient diversity of wildlife.
Chobe National Park – this is Botswana's best big game park. With its gorgeous grassland reserve, the park gained its international fame for its immense elephant population (over 70,000) and it is common to come across herds in excess of a hundred. The northwest part of the park is marked by Chobe River and the River's popularity has made game viewing by boat a popular tourist attraction.
Makgadikgadi Pans National Park – located southeast of Chobe, these enormous salt pans is habitat to large herds of wildebeest and several antelope species as well as flamingos.
These places including Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Nxai Pan National Park and Linyanti/Kwando Swamps will amuse the safari holiday travelers with their rough yet reachable, secluded and marvelous wildlife.
Botswana's unit of currency is the pula (P) which is divided into 100 thebe. Tourists will soon realize why their currency is named "pula" upon visiting the place. "Pula" means rain which is a precious commodity in this desert land.
Banking services are available only in major towns but ATM's are emerging all over the country. Credit cards are accepted at most hotels and restaurants and cash advances are accessible at major banks.
The language mostly spoken by the locals in Botswana is English although some rural areas particularly the older generations use their indigenous mother tongue which is Setswana. It is easy to learn basic greetings and using them in conversing with the natives will definitely make them happy.
Try saying hello in Setswana – Dumela! You say Dumela Rra (pronounced borra) when you address men and Dumela Mma (pronounced as bomma) when addressing women.
Traveling with a "Trusted" Source
Vacations to Botswana are on many traveler's "bucket list." It's important to know and trust the company you are traveling with on your safari vacation.
