Wtf. It's physically impossible to get even one fly in 4 hits.
It requires that you be smarter than the fly.  With a fly on a flat surface, hold your hands about 2 1/2 feet apart.  Slap your hands together rapidly.  The fly will lift off in an escape attempt and wind up directly between your hands....and usually dead.

Edit:  Might want to consider wearing something like latex gloves when performing this operation.  :razz:

I consider it a sport. The feeling of catching the bastard with one hand is unparalleled.

"Sawa sawa” means “alright, fine, ok” – it is the response to anything, good or bad – the idea is that one should always begin by being positive, no matter what life has brought you. My host sister, when telling me about her spoiled cousin that she can’t stand, even realizes she involuntarily begins by saying he’s nice. Everything is nice, no matter what you’re talking about. As someone who is irked by complainers, I’m now evaluating which I prefer more: honesty, or perpetual positivity.

And “labda” means “maybe” or “perhaps”, and is often the response to making plans – he called this a “labda society,” where no one really makes concrete plans, as the focus is on the present moment instead – because who knows what the future brings. I swear, I’ve seen Kenyans visibly cringe when asked to commit to a meeting next week.

Lol. This sounds like halfway between the most frustrating thing ever and the comfiest thing ever.

:grin: same thought, especially the 'who knows what could happen, I can't promise anything' part
 


This is imo why Africa will be Africa and why Mediterranean and Eastern Europe will always lag behind Western and Northern Europe and why China will always be Japan's slow cousin even if they econ zerg and put out big total numbers.
 
I mean its not hard to see why tropical countries don't do as well as temperate ones. The moment it goes above 30°C and 50% humidity all the desire to work just goes out the window. It's hard to avoid having two siestas a day in those conditions.
 
Explain (greater) Russia and all Slavs to one extent or another.

But I don't really mind taking breaks when it's a million degrees outside. It's the widespread lack of keeping one's word, adherence to promises, rules and schedules. Cf driving experience in Italy v Germany and the general state of Italy v that of Germany.
