Dusty

One of the first things that strike you about Namibia, is that it's dusty everywhere! Always blue skies and sunshine but as a consequence also very dry. You constantly need to blow your nose because the dust closes it up the whole time. If you don't drink, you wake up with a sore dry mouth. The handkerchiefs are as frequently used as when you have a cold.
Cleaning the room with a broom doesn't really help much: the next day it will be just as dusty; the only way to clean decently is with water, but then again: that's scarse around here.
