When I was married (about 975 years ago), my husband was in the South African Forces and he regularly had tours of duty in Angola. We were at war with Angola at the time and yes, the worry is really intense. When he wasn't on tour, he volunteered at Army Headquarters. I couldn't understand it either.<br /><br />I'll definitely stop over at your blog. You're quite right about research not giving you everything you need to know. I lived in Zambia as an ex-pat, as I said. I'd lived there for quite a while already and, it was only while I was doing a vac job that I was approached with that line and was told by the local man who was working with me what the man meant. He kicked him out of the shop and said that if I had any problems, I should let him know and he'd deal with whoever it was. My colleague's name was Cholera. I had such trouble saying it in the beginning but Africans have very strange names as you found out. China and Bacon (or whatever the other guy's name was) are, in all likelihood, their real names. I have a char who's name is Polite. I find that difficult to say without a smile as well.<br /><br />Another thing about which you were probably not warned - Africa gets into your blood. I have no idea why that is but it's a fact. Look forward to coming over again when the pull becomes too great. I'm only half kidding about this. Africa certainly does get into one's blood.Fehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344347287087639537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867103378655481627.post-42682473731750546032013-05-27T17:51:47.528+02:002013-05-27T17:51:47.528+02:00When I stopped by your blog initially, this photo ...When I stopped by your blog initially, this photo blew me away; it is so beautiful. The poem pulls at my heart strings. My fiance is in the Canadian Forces and while he's never been overseas, he wants few things more than to be sent on tour. It's a difficult concept for me to understand, but I try really hard. He tells me, "that's why we join the forces, hun." So I get it, I guess. I just can't imagine worrying every day. <br /><br />I'm really glad you stopped by my Botswana post! There are a bunch more if you have the time. The marriage proposal = sex explanation makes total sense! I did a lot of research before going over to Botswana, but I was not fully prepared for the gender dynamic. You can read all you want about that sort of thing, but experiencing it first hand is an entirely different matter. I visited Selebi-Phikwe when I was in Botswana actually. I was also in a few cities in SA too, Pretoria and Johannesburg/Soweto. I miss Botswana every day!Brandyhttp://brandysbustlings.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867103378655481627.post-40589627016345539242013-05-27T16:27:35.910+02:002013-05-27T16:27:35.910+02:00That's so true, Alex.
