Hello Carol,
I am new to Traveltalkonline. I am a South African, born and bred, living in America. Came here for 6 months in August 2002 and one of your blokes stole my heart. I come to this website to see what you guys say about our country and I love to hear the news from travellers. I don't miss South Africa as much as I miss the culture. It took a while, but I think I feel at home now in America.

I really am glad you heard from Bert, however, would you like to tell me exactly when you heard from him? I just am asking as I saw your original log. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Devil.gif" alt="" />

I get mad when our guys don't treat you guys well. I am proud of my country. I lived in Namibia for 10 years. Now THERE'S a country you need to go to. Here's a website for you to browse through. http://www.africat.org . Wayne and Lisa Hanson inherited this farm from their dad in the early 1990's. The farm is called "Okonjima" and they deal with Big Cat conservation, specifically the Cheetah. You HAVE to go to Namibia!
