You know you live in South Africa when....

  • "You produce a R100 note instead of your driver’s licence when stopped by a traffic officer
  • You can do your monthly shopping on the pavement
  • You have to hire a security guard whenever you park your car
  • You can count the national soccer team’s scores with no fingers
  • To get free electricity you have to pay a connection fee of R750
  • Hijacking cars is a profession
  • You can pay your tuition fees by holding up a sign at a traffic light
  • The petrol in your tank may be worth more than your car
  • “Just Now” can mean anything from a minute to a month
  • You continue to wait after a traffic light has turned to green to make way for taxis travelling in the opposite direction
  • Travelling at 120 km/h you’re the slowest car on the highway
  • You’re genuinely and pleasantly surprised whenever you find your car parked where you left it
  • A bullet train is being introduced but we can’t fix potholes
  • The last time you visited the coast you paid more in speeding fines and road toll fees than you did for the entire holiday
  • You paint your car’s registration number on the roof
  • Only half of your mail is guaranteed to reach its destination
  • You have to take your own linen with you if you are admitted to a government hospital
  • Prisoners go on strike"

Merci à J.S pour ce post marrant sur le blog South Africa; certains exemples me transportent loin du sud de l'Afrique et sont à n'en point douter commun à nombre de nos pays. Et pendant ce temps...

Lol assez rigolo.
Mais pour etre franc, je ne peux m'empecher de rire jaune.
Depuis un certain temps, je remarque sur le net une tendance à dénigrer l'afrique du sud. (Coe pour dire, look, now that the whites are gone, look what they are doing with the country?)

Ouhh, mais comme c'est méchant ça..

Si ce genre de posts continue, l'Afrique du Sud va perdre l'orga de la coupe du monde en 2010 ;-)

T'es sure que ce n'est pas le Cameroun plutôt ? Parce que je pense plus au Cameroun en lisant ça.

There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

The Jennifer "JJ"Jareau principle In the critically acclaimed US TV Show Criminal Minds , Jennifer "JJ"Jareau a.k.a "JJ" quoted nicely her exit interview in the 2nd episode of the 6th Season.  Here's what I named it the Jennifer "JJ" Jareau principle. I'm thankful for my years spent with this family; for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow.  I'll take the best of them and lead by their example; where ever I go.  A friend told me to be honest with you, so here it goes.  This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road.  Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or I don't want to walk around angry.  Or maybe it's because I finally understand.  There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept; things we don't want to know, but have to learn, and people we can't live without, but have to let go.

Take the High Road. I am sure several ones of you have heard it before tossed at like a wisdom nugget, and have wondered "which road is that ?" or worse, should you have been too stunned or lost, your mouth merely expulsed two words "come again ?" Truth be told, it's one of these sentences that are thrown away when a conflict arises, but on which, few can give a precise defintion. I'll try my best to remedy to that.   So what does "Take the high road" really means ? John C. Maxwell theorized The High Road Principle gives us a good explanation by stating that there are three roads or options that we can take in life:   The low road : where we treat people worse than they treat us. The middle road : where we treat people the same as they treat us The high road : where we treat people better than they treat us Let's ponder the options set out by Mr Maxwell 1. The Low Road If treated poorly, one reaction co...
