I’ve looked everyone for the answers to these questions, and have failed; they don’t seem to be anywhere. Answer any questions that you can, and please be accurate. The person with the most questions answered (accurately) will recieve the best answer.
All the questions are about the African country Botswana and its culture…
1. How are the children disciplined at home and at school?
2. In schools, are children segregated? If so, by what?
3. What foods or actions are taboo?
4. How is the public sanitation and hygiene?
5. What are the people’s attitudes about gambling?
6. How do the people spend their free time?
7. What are some important holidays?
8. Who are the country’s national heroes?

Seswaa, also known as Chotlho, is the most popular traditional meat dish which is enjoyed in most ceremonies. Meat is cooked (by men usually) in three-legged cast iron pots, then chopped up with a sizeable wooden spoon until it is soft. Only salt and water are added to the dish and any other spices would be ‘taboo’.

The biggest taboo i can think of is being gay. Not only is it taboo, its illegal. Yep, you can find yourself in jail because you play for the other team. Which is really dumb. But apart from that we really don’t have many taboos. But it also depends where you are. In some of the rural areas they can make just about anything taboo if they feel like it. But on the whole we are quite tolerant.
