South Africa must be a very interesting place to live.

Of course, your friend would respond by quoting crime stats etc…and we all know that 74.3% of statistics are made up on the spot.

His contention that supporting the ANC is evil beggars belief – I don’t think it’s a particularly bright thing to do, but I hardly think that someone deciding to vote for the ruling party is doing a terrible, terrible, awful thing. How good is your friend’s understanding of South African history and politics? If all he can do is parrot chunks of text from international newspapers or those charming blogs dedicating to denigrating SA, then he’s got a lot to learn.

Drives me fracking moggy when people come to SA and spend their time here BITCHING and moaning about how terrible it is, how frightened they are, how they’re going to get eaten alive at any moment…often while spending a great deal of foreign currency to stay in nice larney spots, and when they only go to swanky nightclubs, nice bars, cool restaurants, and – if they’re feeling very daring indeed – on one of those hideous township tour efforts.

Give me a break. I hope you opened the passenger door and chucked him out.

Nice post! I’ve never been so convinced that SA is on the right track as when we arrived back from Mozambique at Park Station and it felt like stepping back into first world, 21st century civilization. We’re far from perfect but SA is definitely one of the most exciting developing nations around

Hi,

I suggest you request an Omni Antennae to push your signal to 100%. I had the same fluctuations of 40-70% and speed was thus also variable. For R399 antennae cost and R350 install it may seem expensive, but the consistency and overall performance improvement is well worth the effort on your side. Just maybe check with your committee on placement of anything on the roof sinc eyou are in a flat.

The website rocks! After spending far more hours than I’ve ever wanted to on tourism websites recently, this is without a doubt the most functional and funky I’ve seen. Well done! Particularly like the itinerary funtion.

I went to a shopping mall today. I’m still shaking. If I can’t handle masses of drooling consumers in a relatively small city, how do you think I’d cope if I ever made it to London? *squeak*

Counting down the days to my holiday…how about you?
