=>credit cards <=

No,I dont use them as well....It like your constantly living "op de pof" on loaned money....

I find it a convenient way of paying put some money into it check your balance frequently, make sure it never goes into the red, and it never has to be loaned money. Saves walking around with a lot of cash

No we speak Afrikaans. I do understand some Flemish, but apparently not West Flemish which is a language in own right

Behave Sander!!

SA plane tickets are really expensive! It cost nearly R 11,000 to get there from the States when I left (approx. $1,900 US)

Don't blame us Tyrone! That's what I would have to pay to get to the US! Yeh it is ridiculous :) The thing is, that is what you pay regardless of the airline :(
Tyrone   Thursday, April 28, 2005, 21:04 GMT
dont' i know it, andre! I totally shopped around before i had to shell out the R11000....argh.

I think the problem is the state owned SAA monopolizes the market happens on internal services too :(

Sander,

I may be just plain dense, but I don't know much about West Flemish. I know it's been discussed before. But what can you tell me about it?
