LESOTHO TRIP

Lesotho is a small country that is completely surrounded by South Africa. This is one of the few countries in the world that is within another country. San Marino and Vatican City, both inside Italy, are other examples.

This is one of the most stunning countries I have ever visited. It might be the most beautiful, in my opinion. The country, not including the western side which is mostly flat and more commercial, is very natural. It is filled with tree-covered mountains, large bodies of water, numerous small farms, and a few villages where the homes are still made with material from the area, like mud and straw.

The majority of the country is very clean, without the litter that is often seen in other developing countries. This, in addition to the mountains, reminded me of Daisetzuan National Park in Hokkaido. Imagine a country that is similar to the wonder of Japan's largest national park!
