Ask a South African anything? New Series!

Howdy Folks, grin I have this idea whereby we can all participate in knowledge sharing. I'm sure we all like traveling abroad & what better way to do it if you're armed with some knowledge. thumbs up
OK! So this is how it works...starting here today...A CS member will post a blog on his country.....others can ask questions & answers can follow.
I'll go with South Africa first!
So, then hopefully others will follow ....Aus, NZ, Sweden, France, Germany, Indo,etc!
Coz, truly, we all just have perceptions of other places, not facts.


Just so that everyone knows where South Africa is..at the bottom of Africa.

Total land area of slightly more than 1.2-million sq km. 25th largest country in the world, 24th most populous country with over 51 million people.
South Africa is a multi-ethnic nation and has diverse cultures and languages. We have Africans, Chinese, Dutch, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Indian, Taiwanese, Japanese, Russians, Malayans, Arabs...the whole dang kabooty here!
I think we're the only country in the world to have two independent countries withing our boundaries; Swaziland & Lesotho.

cheering cheering cheering cheering LOVED this blog to pieces, this is the kind of stuff I enjoy reading, the insight of countries by locals, every country in the world is awesome and has a lot to offer, this is by far a super cool idea and St. Elmo I applaud you applause and soon I will write one from my beautiful country. I have always liked SA and I don't need to read reviews from tourist sites because part of my family traveled there to enjoy our national selection at the world cup on 2010, here some pics my uncle took, he told me people were beyond nice and that is enough for me to want to travel there someday maybe wave thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up best blog I've read this year
