Yes, I know that I experienced a very sheltered version of Johannesburg – staying in very affluent neighborhoods with people that chauffeured me around to all that there was to see.

... in the hotel room, it now only rates a 5 out of 10 on the scare o’meter.

Hector Pieterson Memorial & Museum, check.

Soweto shanty town, check.

Man have we got it good in Australia. Pass me more of that biltong, will you?

No more Biltong. I think I need more fibre in my diet, actually. BAH! So much for proving that man can live off Biltong alone! No ****!

... wash piles we lay down to rest our eyes for a sec and woke up some 5 hours later. Had totally forgot how nice it was to lay in a proper bed. A comfy proper bed. And you can stand up in the room... none of this getting changed whilst sitting nonsense. And HOT showers. You can actually get water that is HOT. And washing machines!! None of this hand wash **** which so doesn't get your clothes clean. Talk about total 5 star luxury at ...

... eh uma das principais causas de estresse no tempo na escola. Juntando esse problema ao isolamento e aos conflitos com os professores a situacao pode ficar praticamente insuportavel. Nao eh a toa que muita gente acaba ficando com uma impressao tao negativa em relacao a escola e a organizacao "por tras" dos projetos. - Os amigos e os "nao-tao-amigos" A oportunidade de conhecer e se aproximar de pessoas de passados e historicos tao diferentes do meu sempre me atraiu.

... of reconciliation. In 1994, South Africa adopted a new constitution and established a Constitutional Court. 11 justices (representing each of the official languages of the country) were appointed by the President and established the ancient African principle of Justice under the tree. Built on the site of the notorious Fort and Prison Number 4 and using its bricks for its walls, the Constitutional court upholds the newest ...

... We sit outside by a fire in the middle of a beautiful square. A lady paints our faces while a band walks around and plays tunes on local instruments I've never seen before. The food is phenomenal and Jen and I are back to talking like we have seen each other every day since college. We find another "cab to take us home after a decadent dessert and I ...

... desearon lo mejor, y fue muy emotivo. Yo tambien les solte una charla de que tenian que seguir trabajando duros, que eran muy buenos estudiantes, etc. Vamos, pa echarse a llorar de la emocion. Y luego, sorpresa, la familia me llevo a cenar como despedida, todo un detalle. Hoy ha sido una penita despedirme de todos, Caitlin incluida (la chica americana que todavia se queda otras tres semanas). Quien diga que no merece la pena visitar ...

... using top quality oil!! A large glass of wine later we managed to finish the remainder of our meals which were great for meat eaters if game is your thing. You could try out Buffalo, Warthog or Impala. Next on the itinerary was Chapunga Lodge in Thorny Bush Game Reserve, which is close to Kruger National Park. We spent three days driving early morning and late afternoon in search of animals to view. We had amazing interactions with ...

Hey everyone! Our three week safari has come to an end and we are now heading to South Africa once again. It was a 5:00am departure for the four of us leaving Victoria Falls and heading south for Johannesburg. The rest of our group was either moving North-Eastwards in Africa or flying home. The alarm semi-woke us up at 4:45 - we needed time to brush our teeth and drag our semi-conscious bodies onto the truck for our 5:00am deadline. Upon heading to the truck, however ...
