first impressions... Monday, 5th May 2008, 3.18pm (South Africa), 9.18pm (Singapore)
Vast, unspoilt and arid plains flourishing under the glare of a harsh and unrelenting sun,
A-cool-but-not-too-cold climate that’s too dry, A you-be-sunburnt-before-you-know-it afternoon,
Roads that seemed to go on forever,
Speed limits that would be deemed illegal in Singapore, Laid back people who seemingly spend the entire day queueing for the ATM, Towns and reststops reminiscent of America,
All glimpsed through the window of a never-ending coach ride. This is what South Africa means to me now. |
