Ja Andre,dat had ik ook nog wel begrepen.

Cha, Andre. Cha!

Or I shoudl perhaps say, Yebo Gogo!

Hi there Tyrone, pretty good. Or should I say very lekker?
Andre I haven't yet had the time or ching to check out the Pharos will let you know once I have.

Lekker dag verder

Thanks, snipsa. Or rather, Ngiabonga/Danke. =) I miss SA a lot, KZN in particular.

KZN is amazing especially the Drakensberge. I love the sea too, but only for about a week then my heart starts pulling me back inland? Where in Amerika are you from.

*Ngiabonga/Danke* I see you learned a lot! Really very good. You were only here for six months weren't you?

snipsa,

I learned enough to sound clever, hehe, but not nearly enough. I loved living in Pietermaritzburg. I'm from Los Angeles, California, but I go to university in San Diego, California for now.

However, I did indeed love Gauteng. You're from Pretoria, right?

I daresay I liked Pretoria better than the Free State....sorry, Andre. =)

Yip I'm from Pretoria. At last somebody who enjoyed Gauteng. It seems like nobody wants to come here, fearing the crime. Anybody else out there reading this it's not that bad, come and see for yourselves.
Were everybody able to speak with you in English? I know that some of us really struggle, but that is also starting to develop.

I got to speak with a few people in English, mainly young people my age, or black people from eithe rSoweto or neighboring areas. But then I'd pepper my heavily-accented American English with a random Zulu phrase or two, or the occasionaly Afrikaans word.

I'm glad you got to experience the true South African culture. Speaking with the Zulu's, Afrikaners everybody. Many times, not always, tourists like to only mingle with that which they understand.
I can't remember why were you in RSA? Was it on student exchange?

Im getting the feeling that I could like SA as well.But somehow I always get homesick,now Ive heard that there's Dutch tv but...do you have like very flat erea's....with no mountains or hils ?(Not joking)

Sander, nobody comes to SA for flat areas. They come for the mountains! But to answer your question yes there are. I grew up in Mpumalanga namely Standerton, Kriel and Bethal. That is part of the Platteland. It differs from Cape platteland in the sense that it truly is flat there. So if you really want to come. Yes there are flat areas. All three of those places I know for a fact is as flat as can be, and there are many more. So come and visit, you won't feel homesick!

i studied abroad for six months at UKZN-Pietermaritzburg. God, I miss it.
