Observations/Chaps

Observations:
  • Afrikaaners don't like to wear shoes. Not children, not adults, no matter what the rest of the outfit is like. Not in parks, not in parking lots, not in restaurants or rest stops, not at the cheetah reserve, not in the supermarket. Nowhere is off limits for bare feet, apparently.
  • The Jay-Z New York song is much better outside of NY
  • Everyone from Zimbabwe is nice. Everyone.

Things that chap our asses:
  • Invasions of personal space. We've had several encounters of this sort. Most recently, a lady grabbed Sofi's head during dinner to make her turn around so she could show her friends how beautiful she is. Then she found out we were American and got two inches from Sofi's nose to tell her how arrogant Americans are. We know, lady, we know.
  • Dutch soccer fans, British soccer fans, Americans generally. Although we do enjoy the look we get when a Dutch person falsely assumes Sofi's orange Ivory Coast zip-up is for the Netherlands. Not everyone likes you, okay?
