For a bit of color, I thought I'd post the Swaziland flag and information from Wikipedia about it. I intend to use this as a focus for thinking about Michele and the next eight weeks of study and culture adjustment she will be doing with a host family.
The red stands for past battles, the blue for peace and stability, and the yellow for the resources of Swaziland. The central focus of the flag is a shield and two spears, symbolizing protection from the country's enemies. Its colour is meant to show that white and black people live in peaceful coexistence in Swaziland. The flag is based on one given by King Sobhuza II to the Swazi Pioneer Corps in 1941. On it is an Emastosha shield, laid horizontally. The shield is reinforced by a staff from which hangs injobo tassels--bunches of feathers of the widowbird and the lourie. They also decorate the shield. Above the staff are two assegais-local spears.
