Its a large, beautiful & very diverse country, with each city being completely different from the other, Cape Town could be anywhere in Europe, Johannesburg is more African, but is still very unique & has dangerous parts like Hillbrow, just like NYC has the Bronx, which are to be avoided. SA has its problems, but its a must to visit & see. I hope you enjoy the trip & look forward to your observations of your experience.onigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-15035071580894022242009-11-18T23:27:19.216-05:002009-11-18T23:27:19.216-05:00I realize I should say something spectacular, but ...I realize I should say something spectacular, but . . .

I think about this constantly. <br /><br />The other day my friend found a shell outside the Vietnamese deli where we go to buy tofu hoagies and organic macaroni and cheese. She, a D.C. native, laughed and held it up to the sun. Her British boyfriend cringed in horror - because he comes from a place where only those very, very serious about violence own guns, private citizens are not allowed to carry them, and only highly specialized government units go armed. Something to think about.moriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390704103460109691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-25394196038104149902009-11-18T11:00:35.960-05:002009-11-18T11:00:35.960-05:00Have you read Jean and John Comaroff's work on...Have you read Jean and John Comaroff's work on culture,law, and policing in South Africa?

Be sure to visit the District Six Museum, and Constitution Hill when you get to Jo'burg . And the Botanical Gardens are splended. And while you're in the Cape, I recommend reading Zakes Mda's <i>Ways of Dying</i>.<br /><br />Have fun!Shane in SLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009969830290878311noreply@blogger.com
