English is the national and official language of Namibia. English is a West Germanic language and positioned 3rd based upon number of native speakers (310 million million) and its an easy way to connect with the rest of the world.
Chances are this is going to be the same as it is in South Africa in the sense that you got to go to the FNB branch and open up a foreign currency account. This way you get charged for receiving foreign funds. :) Good Luck!
Walvis Bay is the harbour city in central coastline of Namibia, located in south west africa.
Mostly cool to chilly foggy nights (80% of the year), with most days fog clearing away between 09:00 and 15:00, in winter through extreme cold spells inland, sometimes east winds with sandstorms and temperatures up to 41 C
Yes, German is spoken in Namibia because Namibia was previously colonised by Germany. German is actually not that common in Namibia. (Only spoken by 20% of white population.) It's also mainly spoken in the urban areas.
When Namibia became independent German became a recognised minority language.
"[R]ed signifies the heroism of the people and their determination to build a future of equal opportunity for all; white stands for peace, unity, tranquility, and harmony; blue represents the Namibian sky and the Atlantic Ocean, the country's precious water resources and rain; the yellow sun denotes power and existence; green symbolizes vegetation and agricultural resources."

The Namib Desert is a cold desert or cool coastal desert, depending on the classification system.
Hello in some of the languages of Namibia:
Namibian cuisine is known for the use of game such as venison. Namibia is also an important producer of beef and mutton. Seafood is available from the country's coastal region.
The German colonial period has left a legacy of a variety of sausages, breads, cakes and pastries, whilst the South African influence can be seen in foods such as biltong (air-dried meat).
Traditional food includes porridge and soup made from cornmeal, millet or cassava, supplemented by fish or meat stew, vegetables and milk products.
Wine is produced locally and beer made from marula fruit is a favourite during the marula harvest.
Kenya and Tanzania, apart from being neighbors in East Africa, are both relatively robust democracies, with multi-party presidential systems, democratically-elected legislatures, and independent judiciaries. Despite the open political systems, corruption remains a problem in both nations, as well as many other developing countries. Both populations are overwhelmingly Christian, with large Muslim minorities. Both are former British colonies. However, while Tanzania's road to independence was relatively peaceful, Kenya's involved a bloody rebellion (the Mau Mau uprising).
Both economies rely heavily on agriculture, and also have fossil fuel sectors. Tourism is important to both countries, as the natural landscapes of the Great Lakes region (including Mt. Kilimanjaro) are stunning, and eco-tourism (safaris) are very popular among visitors.
Both countries are ethnically very diverse, with a heavily rural population. A key difference between the two is in how different ethnic groups get along; in Kenya ethnic tensions are still strong, and flare up into violence every few years, while Tanzania has very little ethnic violence. This is due in part to the different ruing styles of the two countries' post-colonial rulers. Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya emphasized giving government largesse to his own ethnic group, the Kikuyu, while Julius Nyerere emphasized the fact that all of his people were Tanzanian, rather than members of a tribe.
The Namib Desert covers most of Namibia but a small part of the Kalahari Desert also enters the country.
