South Africa...


South Africa...a country where running a red light is safer than stopping at it (at night).

South Africa...a country where there are two different types of electrical plugs. You never know which one you're going to get.

South Africa...a country where driving through thick smoke on the highway is common as grass fires burn rampant.

South Africa...a country where every, single radio station is heard nationally.

South Africa...a country where there are more metal bars per sq. km. than plants or trees.

South Africa...a country where men in neon vests direct traffic for parking spots, even on the street. They are not formally employed by anyone.

South Africa...a country where taxis look like buses.

South Africa...a country where in 20 degrees, beanies, coats and boots are worn by most.

South Africa...a country without filtered coffee. Back to instant I go.


South Africa...a country where honking a car horn means "Do you want a ride?" rather than "Get out of my way!"

South Africa...a country where in every bathroom, there's plenty of soap, paper towel, cold water and...condoms.

South Africa...a country where to enter a banking institution, one must go through a medal-detector doorway.

South Africa...a country where 'indoor' slippers are not only worn indoors.

South Africa...where there are posted MAX and MIN speeds on highways.
To be continued...
