Sabie Backpackers

I just remembered a moment from the trip that still makes me laugh. We were staying at Sabie Backpackers in the town of Sabie, near Kruger National Park. The staff there are really friendly, but strangely wigged out or high or something. They would always seem totally engaged in anything you were saying to them, and if you made any sudden gestures they would jump and gesticulate as though they had just seen a unicorn.

There's one dude who is always walking around with a broom or mop and cleaning the place. He has several earrings and always has a bandanna on his head. This guy was talking to the one who seemed to be in charge about something. I heard the one in charge saying "thank you" for cleaning something, and the bandanna guy said, "I'm glad to be an asset to the company." It could have been a scene in a Cheech and Chong movie, Cheech and Chong Clean A Hostel. Steve and I both chuckled when we heard it. It's probably not as funny to read it here on the blog, but I wanted to record it for posterity.
