Fun Facts


Baboons are not friendly and signs on the side of the road constantly remind you not to feed them.

If you are chased by an ostrich in Africa, lay down on your chest.  Ostriches have a large claw that can puncture your chest cavity and instantly kill you.  You won’t outrun them because they can run 80km per hour.

On the back of wine bottles in South Africa are warnings about the negative side effects of alcohol.  My first bottle read, “Do not drink alcohol and walk down the road.  You may be killed.”  Very true.  But if you walk down the road sober you may be killed as well since j-walking is a major trend here.

7 rands = 1 U.S. dollar.  But dividing everything by 7 in the moment is much more difficult than you may think.

It is custom to walk on the left, not the right.
