A very close friend of mind lived in Lesotho for several years. She enjoyed her stay, found the people wary of strangers at first but eventually they warmed up and she became good friends with several people. She did say it could be dangerous at times and she had to be careful where she went and at what time. Nevertheless, she enjoyed her time there immensely.

After having lived for a number of years in 'third-world' countires myself, with all due respect, if you are concerned about the availability of a gym perhaps living in a 'third-world' country is not for you. Better questions would be concerning the status of women and children, availability of health care, drinking water, education, acceptance of 'outsiders', perhaps even a question or two about how you might contribute to the community outside of the school. I too enjoy going to a gym on a regular basis, but when moving to what the industrialized world so arrogantly refers to as a 'third-world' country, the availability of a health club I shouldn't think would be high on your list....but if it is, you might think twice about the move.

I wish you well and good luck with your search.
