... the ***** delta, the source of the nile, kilimanjaro, mafia island, kinshasa etc! <br><br>But the trip does have care** motives - th**e is cash to be made on this continent! In most of the countries I'll be visiting I'll be spending time with some of the large corporates and influential businessmen to und**stand the economy, their views on the future, exploring opportunities and really just meeting people and learning as much as I can- sort of like a 5 ...

... elle intimité. Et en général ça ne se passe pas très bien avec les autres épouses et le reste de la famille. Les premières épouses s'attendent à être traitées comme des reines, il n'y a pas d'égalité.<br>Je ne pense pas que ça puisse marcher bien. Même dans les zones rurales, où c'est une tradition bien ancrée, les femmes ne sont pas autorisées à parler, donc ça crée toujours des problèmes. <br>A Soweto cette tradition a été emmenée par les migrants des campagnes. <br><br ...

... bus. It will be an 8 hour bus ride to the camp. He said he had a nice dinner and two beers (drinking age is 18) for $11 at the hotel restaurant. He said everyone is very nice and the temp is a comfortable 85 degrees. Link to his hotel: http://www.citylodge ...

... hope to be able to check in as early as Sunday the 17th of August 2008 if I can get a reservation. And then of course planning my programme of treatments while I am there. Massages, yoga classes, sunrise meditation sessions in the gardens @ Brookdale ( sunrises in South Africa are particularly beautiful, tranquil and fresh before the intensity of the day), long walks and restful afternoons ...

... not realise when I arrived back in Johannesburg that there were a few surprises in stall. Firstly there was the good news that my Grandfather who is now 86 would be travelling up from the coast to come and visit and then later during the week we had a surprise visit from my sister, Natalie and my nephew, Gabriel and newly born nice Ruby, whom I had not met yet. It was wonderful having the whole family together and a real treat to be able to meet Ruby who as you ...

... and numerous children both in and out of wedlock. One of his wives committed suicide, leaving a note saying that he'd made her life a hell on earth. He was accused of raping a woman he knew to be HIV-positive, tried and acquitted. (He insists the sex was consensual, and notes that he avoided infection by taking a shower after the encounter. So much for South African HIV/AIDS awareness.) He's currently the ...

When darkness kicks in everything that was once commonplace is no more. I arrived in Jo'burg last night and spent the night thinking about all the crime that is synonymous with the city once considered the murder capital of the world. The car jackings, daytime muggings, etc. all played into my fear. It's funny how the darkness does things to you. I still get a ...

... s taxi to Zebra Crossing Lodge. Incredibly our wonderful tour was over. Lotta and I were now on our own. My first impressions of the Zebra Crossing Lodge were terrible. Although I thought I had booked a twin room with a private bathroom, it turned out that there were no rooms at all with private bathrooms. After the type of accommodation we had on the tour, the room seemed bare and uninviting and the bedding pathetic ...

... brilliant (barring the idiot who had parked his car right in the way!). So amazing to see and they were awake so they were a bit more active than the comatosed ones we saw in Etosha. We then drove along and our guide spotted two leapords sitting in a tree. Unfortunately, we were so excited it legged itpretty quickly, but still cool we have now seen all of the big 5. Also saw a white rhino hanging out with a massive group ofmonkeys having a ...

It's a strange sight to see no security. I don't know if I feel more or less comfortable than usual. In fact I was still deciding when I heard the familiar 'hisssss.click!' of a Stormtroopers radio in the distance. Where was he? I scanned the road for the familiar dark blue all-in-one suites that denote the University Security Services are around. Nothing. 'Hissssss.click!' Was I going mad? Apparently not! The University sent me an e ...
