Random observations

A few other random observations in S.A.:
Their animals are not penned in, so that cows + donkeys (like their cats + dogs) wander around anywhere without any people/farmers with them.

People wear their best clothes to Church, some of which look like they cost as much as their houses.

People walk along the road, even when there is a free path next to them.

S.Ans don't seem to understand sarcasm.

S.Ans often don't wear shoes, even when playing sport, in chapel and sometimes when going out!

Lots of people were small, especially the guys. You can see this if you look at my pics of me and Jon with some of the people we spent time with, such as Titus, Swazi, and Sefularo (see photos in an above post).

People drive V close to pedestrians. As many pedestrians are on the road or the side of the road, we often drove past people at great speeds only missing them by less than a foot, without anyone jumping or even appearing to notice!

The weather changes quickly, so that one day it can be 18oC and the next day be 38oC!

Many towns had English names, such as Colchester, Newcastle, and even, an apparently small place, called George!

The radio played old English songs from the 90’s!

People often have Christian messages on their T-Shirts or cars (see below)
