I compared Minneapolis to Botswana.They are alike in many ways.They both speak English.They both have trains, cars, planes, busses, and trucks. Both have hot summers. They are different in even more ways.Besides English the people in Minneapolis speak Spanish and Hmong and the people of Botswana speak Sekgalagodi and Setswana. I never saw an elephant in Minneapolis but they ride them in Botswana.
