Though Lesotho is only the size of the tiny east coast state of Maryland, it's all mountains. I live on the western side of them, and inconveniently, my girlfriend (or whatever) Ursula lives on the eastern side.
It takes me a full day on taxis, a bus and two feet to get there. Door to door, around ten hours. So, in order to hang out on a weekend I have to miss a Friday and Monday of school. We trade off doing this and end up seeing each other about once a month.
Circumstances make it impossible for us to talk on the phone. Letters take a week to two months -- I don't know what happens to cause the degree of variation. I'm not complaining. Well, maybe I am. But obviously, she's worth it.
Anyway, take the journey via Google Earth. Input the coordinates:
My front door in Ts'oeneng: 29 33' 57.15" S, 27 22' 49.75" E
Ursula's front door in Aupolasi: 30 00' 58.58" S, 28 40' 05.15" E
