Back from Europe and thanking the politicians in SA...

Today I'm taking the time to thank the American banking crisis and South Africa's stupid politicians for helping the Rand jump down a ravine so I can get a fantastic rate at the Forex office selling my foreign notes.

I would also like to thank the ANC for the graceful politics these last few weeks. Not only have you succeeded to get rid of Mbeki and gotten in some unknown person, but you have also made sure that Zuma walks away from all charges. I would have taken my hat off, but I'm too scared that someone would steal it if I do. So anyway, good work, keep it up!

I love coming back and having to look over my shoulder again. I must admit that I felt safe in the 12 countries I visited, but in my own country I'm too scared to walk from my car to my front door. I only walked about 20km a day while abroad...

We might not have bright politicians, a strong currency or safe living conditions - but at least we have sunshine.
