I try not to dwell too much on the crime though - the worst part is being scared and expecting things to happen to you.<br /><br />Ah, and I miss braais!

So "swimming costume" does not surprise me at all. We even spell like the English - lol. I am sure that you will find many of these things all over the world, it is just that it has all become rather prominent here in SA over the last decade or so. The one crime, but it is not mentioned in the post, that is genuinely scary and I believe unique to SA is the "farm murders". Since 1994 more than 3,000 people have been murdered on farms. To put it in perspective all I can say is that is already way beyond the number of people that were killed by the Apartheids Government for political reasons. Let me get off the soapbox. I might sometime write a post about this sometime, but not now.A human kind of humanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944399986334367708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248252672578652986.post-48623555435774632062010-02-08T23:32:46.230+02:002010-02-08T23:32:46.230+02:00In Enland they're swimming costumes too.

Lamb chops is, well, lamb chops and boerewors is a type of spicy beef sausage with coriander flavouring, however you do get many variations with different spices. To most Afrikaner men a balanced diet means a lamb chop in one hand and a Caste Lager in the other - not serious. You can also braai steaks or chicken, but the favourite is chops and wors (that is when you can afford lamb chops). Hope you will get a chance to experience a true SA braai while you are over here.A human kind of humanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944399986334367708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248252672578652986.post-51618921520272590542010-02-08T19:54:26.721+02:002010-02-08T19:54:26.721+02:00I loved this.
