Good tidings to you, friend! ^^u^^

Thanks old chap!

I'll keep an eye out for Die Antwoord.

Sounds real exciting, enjoy! :3

Oh I fully intend to!

What will you be doing in Suid-Afrika?

A lot of volunteer work with local NGOs like the Desmond Tutu HIV/AIDS Foundation and another group called Grandmothers Against Poverty and AIDS (GAPA for short). There's a degree of "touristy" stuff like a visit to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 20+ years but all of it has an emphasis on promoting understanding and tolerance.

happy travels :P

Well they were certainly long, but definitely the view from the air of the vast Algerian desert stretching out for vast distances made the long flight quite worthwhile.

Cool, have fun!

I can guarantee that I will!

As of this moment I have set down in Cape Town and our group has all set up in the accommodation we have for the duration of our stay.

Everything is looking extremely interesting so far. Some evidences of Apartheid's economic legacy are abundantly clear in Cape Town since you can see a modern, well-paved and maintained highway literally right between a sprawl of slums (not all of these are the old Apartheid-era townships but economically they are largely the same thing).

have fun!!

I most assuredly am enjoying it immensely .
