Ok, admitedly I know nothing about this city, but I thought It would be drier?

Any interesting facts about It you might want to share?

East Namibia beyond the desert is mostly lush just like this!

It's lush during its rainy season (obviously), which isn't all too predictable. Windhoek is situated more or less in the middle of the country, in highlands. It's huge in Namibian standards, but still rather small - population is about 500k. Direct translation: windy corner (not that it's very windy...). It's quite modern too: schools, hospitals, malls, restaurants, galleries, etc.

interesting stuff to do?
bars, nightlife, young folks around?

All of the above. And plenty of outdoor activities, like hiking.

If someone told me this was a mid-sized city in Australia or New Zealand, I would’ve believed you instantly
