hey !!! Long time no post I know, but it seems that you have been entertaining yourselves by answering my quiz, thanks so much it does actually provide a teeny bit of insight into the male mind. ALthough I will never completely figure it out, im trying.
Hey and on another topic, its my BDay on wednesday! 11 January (a cool 21 years!)
Not much news this side, the weather has been light rain with no sign of the sun whatsoever. Watched a bit of travel tv today, there was a Floyd on Africa (an ageing chef with a penchant for drinking wine while he cooks) and they did a quick summation of the country. And then it hit me - they only places where you'll find squatter camps are here and something similar in Mexico. To us the little shacks are a daily part of the scenery, a sort of desensitization to poverty I suppose.
And in line with a request by a friend, i have gone and dug up some key photos that you'd need if you were considering a trip to S.A. It all depends on where your fancy lies.
There's the coastline, which is home to many quaint villages and bigger tourist-geared towns, not to mention the beaches and natural scenery. Secondly there's more inland, the Savannah region and Eastern Cape, where you'd find the wildlife and more "african" way of living (they may stick you in a rondavel, which is a small round house traditionally inhabited by tribes) .Sure its a bit drier but by no means less beautiful. Then of course there's the jewel in the crown ,the Western Region, with vineyards and great green expanses of valleys and mountains, its very peaceful.
