Great timing, as I'm heading to SA with my mom and sis for 2.5 weeks after Rwanda! I'll have to pick your brain for more must-dos when I see you ;-)
Haha, I love crazy signs. I have a collection myself from Argentina, China, and Cuba. Gosh, this post made me REALLY miss SA.
There is so much to do in South Africa, it all comes down to priorities (like everything in life I guess!).
Dude loved this post! The best one was “Riding of Ostriches at Own Risk” as it cracked me up!!! Been compiling a set of photos for a post just like this as sometimes it's just to hard to resist some of the things you see when traveling. Most of the time it's a translation error that makes it so funny but it looks like in South Africa they just like to be blunt and honest.
Look forward to seeing more posts like this!
Thanks Troy, glad you liked the photos. South Africans do tend to be direct, whether it's talking about race relations, or the importance of yielding to exotic toads and dung beetles.
