What's it like in south Africa: you have questions? we have answers

O n a recent visit to South Africa, I picked up these Q&A gems while chatting with people there about how some foreign tourists ask the natives questions about the country, and how the South Africans respond to them (tongue in cheek, of course). I hope you'll enjoy them as much as the audience did when I gave my little spiel after one of the FEM'06 conference dinners. Our South African hosts were in stitches, as were the other guests when they heard them. By the way, we found that South Africa is a very modem country, but, of course, there also have great safari desti­ nations, such as the Kruger National Park, which you can enjoy. Also, I might add that South African people are very charming and hospitable. We really enjoyed our visit to Stellenbosch, as well as the safari several of us went to, before andlor after the FEM meet­ mg.
