Amazing Race: Swaziland Edition

Today we woke up bright and early to compete in the Swazi Trails Amzing Race! About half of our group decided to compete in the game, which lasted about 3 hours. The Swazi Trails staff split us into 3 teams, and gave us a booklet of different tasks to complete around Swaziland! The tasks varied from finding a person names Thulani, to finding the name of a bible verse on the side of a building in Mulwane. Our most interesting completed tasks of the day were buying a dreadlock from a woman, and finding a 20c Swazi coin, which is a square coin that was stopped being used in the 70s. We visited different markets, and even a police station to get the most tasks completed that we could. Unfortunately, we did not have time to go to the local market to buy a live chicken. (Darn it) But we made it back in time to complete a few more questions before we had to turn in our booklets. The scores were very close, but we ended up getting 2nd place. Overall, it was a great team building experience, and one of the best ways to really experience a new country!
