Is there more than one Malawi?

Oh, and Barb (and anyone else who cares), it's in Africa.  South eastern
Africa.  Look at a map. 

Oh, and also email connections here are TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE, so I'm
not reading the vanagon list or the wetwesties list, I'd never be able to
handle the traffic.  So if any replied there, sorry, I didn't get it.
