在博茨瓦纳，很难完全消失，那里的人不到200万人，人们对谁是谁和人来自哪里的好奇心。即使在加博隆（Gaborone），也很难匿名，因为总会有邻居想确切地知道一个人在做什么，而人民曾经是谁。
(It was hard to disappear completely in Botswana, where there were fewer than two million people and where people had a healthy curiosity as to who was who and where people had come from. It was very difficult to be anonymous, even in Gaborone, as there would always be neighbours who would want to know exactly what one was doing and who one's people had been.)
