I was only a teenager when my family decided to move to South Africa. You can imagine my dismay at leaving everything I loved here in the United States, for a country that sounded barbaric and terribly foreign. My Dad kept saying that our three year stint there would be a life-changing experience. I agreed. It would probably ruin my life. Anyway we flew forever and landed in this foreign country. We rented as big a vehicle as we could from durban car rental and proceeded to our new home. I was dumb-struck by the raw beauty of the place. Maybe I should give it a chance. I did, and I fell head-over-heels in love with this wonderful country.
