Have I mentioned how much the internet sucks here in South Africa? Probably only about a dozen times, right? It seems that it isn't too bad in some of the larger apartments and buildings but it is expensive and not very good in some of the smaller apartments (like the one we were staying in previously). One of the other things I dislike is that there are no plug-ins in the bathrooms. Up until a few years ago, you were not allowed by law to have them anywhere near water and basins. Now this is probably fine and dandy if you are bald and don't use a curling iron or blow dryer but I find it to be annoying since I use both. One of the rental ladies I was talking to told me that now it is allowed but too much of a pain to add the fixtures in older residences. Makes me wonder if there were a rash of accidental electrocutions or an over reaction.
On the other hand, the friendliness of the people and the climate here at this time of the year makes up for these minor things. Plus the kingklip fish are worth the trip alone. ;-) And, like I said previously, I have never even imagined that there would be a "Baboon Reporting Hotline" for people who feed baboons. What a country!
