  • Thoughts on Africa 2

    by Rianna Ivy 24. August 2010 21:16

    It was interesting to go in to the town today, the mall/shopping centre is just as nice as they are in england, if not even cleaner. I naiively didn't expect it to have anything as nice as that and cool just everyday shops; all you see of africa in england is the poor population that have nothing, you don't really see anything else. I really enjoyed my day today just chilling and getting to know Mark and Lisa better :D Very interesting to chat to them about all kinds of things.

    The town is very nice and has cool shops and Nando's! found out it actually started in South Africa (feel a little bit stupid and englishly naiive). It's not too different from other places i've been to with people wanting to sell you all kinds of random stuff. They can be quite persistent. I was incredibly shocked that one guy was selling Taser Guns to any random person on the street!

    One thing i observed is that the black people shake your hand as if you are in a special group with a secret handshake! It's not just a normal english handshake but it contains twists and random stuffs lol.

    I am now quite eager to see what the guys do when hunting and what it actually entails. Not that i will be doing any myself but would like to observe it.

    No ticks! No Spiders! No being chased by dangerous animals and only one bite.......on my face lol.

    My overall thoughts on afirca at this moment in time is that it's loverly. Going to bed happy tonight :D
