RE: Monkeys, Meerkats and Mangoes - Growing Up In Durban, South Africa, In the 1980's
Thanks for sharing these memories. I've been curious about South Africa for a while and I also love avocados, mangos, and weird wildlife! Things were sounding good and fun until this:
One day, upon returning home after being in the bush, I found black worm like things burrowed completely under the skin of my leg.
o.O
Ya well. (Oh "ya"is south african for yes!) hahaha, it was disgusting. Imagine being 10 and poking yourself open, with no cares, only to get rid of that stuff, whatever it was.
Ask me anything you want about SA (I don't offend easily and I'll be happy to write a blog about it.
I would've had a panic attack too. Actually I may have fainted, because I tended to panic pretty easily at 10! Which one is you in the picture?
More blog posts about South Africa would be great. I'd love to know more about the economy, crime and the govt., the food, and experiences you've had.
I've heard that the traffic and drivers are horrible, and (you probably get this a lot) that it's an especially dangerous place for women. Are these things true? A mathematician from Johannesburg told me he feels like it's easier to have a noticeable impact on society there than in the U.S. because it's a smaller country.

I'm the older girl on the right. Good questions, I will answer them in a blog. I have written a few other blogs on South Africa, mostly the history, if you care to scroll through my profile. :)
Thanks! I followed and will scroll through your earlier posts.
