Things I Will Definitely Not Miss in SA

Obviously I am completely in LOVE with South Africa, but it could definitely use some improvements. Yes I know I'm spoiled and come from a first world country, but really this list is just for fun so South African's, please don't take offense. I think it is only fair to also post the counter part of "Things I Will Miss in SA" which is "Things I Will Definitely Not Miss in SA". .

1. I will not miss paying for grocery bags at the supermarket.

2. I will not miss buying "airtime". Buying time and texts for my phone every time they run out is annoying, contracts helllllo.

3. I will not miss Car Guards. I just hate when they sprint from across the parking lot to make it look as if they were standing by my car the whole time when they definitely were not, and then standing directly behind my car when I try to back out. I'm all for this country creating more jobs but honestly, I'm going to run you over if you don't move.

4. I will not miss the poor excuse for pickles that they have in South Africa. Those aren't pickles you're eating, those are nasty pickly-like rubber substitutes. I can't wait to get home and eat some Vlasics!

5. I will not miss the internet in South Africa. I think that my dial-up might have gone faster. Watching a youtube video may cause one to die of boredom waiting for it to buffer.

6. I will not miss the salesmen at the stop lights. I'm very happy that they've found a way to make some cash... but why don't they sell something people need like I don't know, bread? Instead of car chargers, plush Smurfs, and cheap sunglasses, come on! I don't like being hassled at the stoplights, I really really don't.

7. I will not miss the electric fences, driveway gates, alarm systems, barbed wire disguised as vines, and burglar bars.

8. I will not miss the South African taxis. They are like the suicide bombers of these roads with no regard for stop signs, traffic lights, or human life.

9. I will not miss the South African Home Affairs department. I NEVER want to deal with these people ever again as long as I live. I thought I was on an episode of Punk'd, but it isn't so funny when Ashton doesn't come out and say it was a joke.

10. I will not miss the VAT tax. I DON'T WANT TO PAY YOU AN EXTRA 14%!!! And yes, I'm going to try and claim back everything I can get at the airport SO THERE.


All of those things aside I really do love you South Africa, no hard feelings k?
