Just to add to what Steve said, in Europe everyone also asked me wether SA was safe. The people who I met who actually traveled to SA said it was the best if not one of the best travel experiences they have ever had.

SA Rocks!

Preacher – 5 types – also include those with faith. Sure, things never go as planned, but someone has to believe it will get better. I’m in a very [very, very] similar situation to you, but choose to believe it will get better. You don’t. Fine, that’s why its called choice. Good luck to you, and good luck to us. Only time will tell whether its worthwhile or not, but I believe it will be.

Nic – thanks for this site. Its not easy to say at times, but in spite of everything we must believe it. [if we don't, who else will]. SA Rocks!

Just wanted to say that I am one of the tourists who have been to SA who RAVES about it. Definitely my best trip ever. I will never forget your beautiful country and plan to go back as soon as possible. All countries have their negatives. SA definitely rocks!! I think I might just hit the Springbok Cafe and Grill tonight here in Van Nuys, Southern California…

Hey Steve, thanks for the comment. It’s great to read comments like yours. Gives an interesting and different perspective on the place that we live. It’s great to know that there aren’t purely negative reactions from foreigners travelling in SA!!

I was in the Far East for a month in October. Every tourist who I met who had never been to SA asked if it was safe. Every tourist who I met who had been to SA could not stop raving about SA. Said it was one fo their best trips ever. Most could not wait to get back.

And on average most people in the Far East work seven days a week and get seven days leave a year. Rains like crazy, poverty is everywhere and apart from few first world countries, the infrastructure is shocking (way worse than SA) and the quality of life is terrible.

And compared to most of the Far East, JHB traffic is a breeze.

Made me think about SA a lot. Yea it has its challenges, but it feels like paradise compared to there.
