Hey Boskind. I stayed in Oshakati for 5 years during the border war. From 1986 to 1990. And then we moved to Grootfontein for a further 5 years. I loved living there. The absolute freedom! I had the most idillic childhood: bikes, dogs, veld as ... Read More

Now, ok, if I made a friend and she invited me to her home. But she was married, will her husband stay away till I've left? Are there separate lounges or rooms in which the men and women visit should they have friends over. Also, do I have to ... Read More
