This is fascinating! Thank you very much :D I knew very little about South Africa before, but it sounds beautiful & very interesting. And robots, heh xD 11 official languages, wow. How many do you speak?
That's awesome. And it was pretty cool sitting and thinking about most of them. And luckily FB provided a few friends a chance to do so as well, 'cos I didn't even know all of them! :)
Really cool! Must be awesome to travel with so much to see. Would love to see the desert bloom. I was trying to come up with interesting facts about where I live and.... nope, nothing! lol!
I'm sure there are 'some' interesting things about where you live... *prods* but yes, SA is a great place to travel around and visit. Only downside - all the crime :(
On the official languages, no - you don't need to speak all of them. But school kids need to learn at least two - their mother tongue and one other. I speak english and afrikaans. Most african kids can speak two or three of the african languages and english.
#26 - gah! Happened this week as well! :) Who needs a alarm!
No, those birds are completely evil. They know when its saturday or your day off and voila, on the roof -- cawing their heads off to eachother. *mutters*
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love SA..........would love to go back again. I remember visiting the Oudtshoom and feeding an ostrich I also saw a hugh flock of them coming down the highway toward me and a tender drew them to the side of the road as I approached them. Feeding one was a weird sensation. Had to remove my shiny watch first though. The guide told me they fancy shiny objects. I also visited a beautiful botanical garden which features numerous variations of these:
YES, you have such a fantastically beautiful country and equally beautiful people.......such diversity too. I love the culture and the color and the sounds etc.
I remember one time when I went to San Diego and was waiting in baggage claim for my bag and there were two people who looked like they had just returned from a trip. I asked them where they had been and they said "To the best kept secret in the world" SA

*grins* That sounds familiar! When I was little swallows were nesting under our roof - yeah, no sleeping long in the mornings anymore. :D
