A few observations

- the relaxed attitude between teachers and in staffrooms

- how clean the students uniforms and shoes are every morning

- the liking of “house” music

- the white and black disparity that still exists

- the passion for hunting and wildlife amongst most Afrikaans living in this area

- the capturing nature and diverse wildlife that surrounds this area

- how “western” tourists go crazy over the “African time”

- how little tea people drink here

- 95% of pineapples grown in Hluhluwe are exported

- the surprising reactions received when people find out I am half Zambian, half Swedish

- majority of girls in the schools visited dream of being some sort of doctor, pilot or scientist

- the respectful gestures between adults, and youth and adults (e.g. when handing over something it will be done with two hands, or when greeting someone from a distance they will respectfully press their palms together in chest height as a greeting)

- a different kind of physical contact, where men hold hands just as normal as girls do. When someone grabs your hand, in a handshake or similar they will hold onto it for some time

- the strong spirituality and Christian belief
