Tea time all the time
          I am amazed by the amount of tea that is consumed here.  Yes, it is one of the country's major exports, but still.  Every time I go anywhere, do anything... people are drinking tea.  Breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, before dinner, dinner, after dinner...  I even found out today that tea is in the timetables of both teachers and students at Ekwendeni Girls Secondary School (right across the road from the hospital) - every day from 9:35 to 10 am.  Mercy.  That's a lot of tea.
