Moving up in the world

Outside of Mbabane and Manzini there's not much in the way of cities here. Because transport is so expensive, if you live in the Shiselweni region (I do!) then you don't get to town very often. Those of us that live in the south are stuck w/ Nhlangano. Swaziland's third-largest city, "the Schlong" in PC vernacular, is nothing to write home about (except that I am). There is no great selection of South African chains, to laundromat, and no real internet cafe. Even the grocery store is lack-luster. However, in the past few weeks the Schlong has been improving. It began with the opening of a new Jet (a South African clothing store). Now, a KFC branch will be opening next week. All we need now is a decent Indian restaurant and we'll never need to go to Manzini again!
