Some lessons I’ve learned in South Africa thus far:

1.       Never leave home without your roll of toilet paper.

2.       No need for an alarm clock when you have roosters and goats outside of your home.

3.       With enough tablespoons of Ricoffy, instant coffee isn’t half bad.

4.       Khombis and cars do not move, so you better.

5.       9 am really means 10 am.

6.       Your best friends will be the gogo’s and the local kids in your village.

7.       It’s so true when they say “When you speak a man’s language, you speak to his heart.”

8.       Always refrigerate your chocolate unless you want chocolate soup.

9.       Prepared to be dusty, all of the time.

10.   Pap completes any meal.
