Feel Namibia's heartbeat as you see and hear the country through the open eyes and ears of Anna Mandus. Accompany her to a Windhoek supermarket, to the rugby stadium and to a women's conference. Catch a glimpse of Namibian schools and hospitals. Sit down at the camp fire and listen to stories from the bush. Learn how to behave at camp sites and barbecues and how to train your dog Namibian style. Taste boerewors, superlamb and Black Forest cake and find answers to some unusual questions: Can it rain too much in a desert country? What are the Chinese doing in Namibia? When do you qualify as a “real Namibian”?
