FLYBOYJ said:I grew up in New York around a lot of Italians, all US born. They would rant and rave how they would love to live in Italy among "their people." Some of them went there on vacation and got a rude awakening when they were received as total foreigners, even though they spoke the language. With that said, you may think the grass is greener until you go to another country for a long period of time and really see how little things let you know where your roots are really from....
I met many South Africans when I was in Botswana - they echo your feelings! I think SA is one of those exceptions to the rule...Henk said:Well Flyboy any other country is better than SA, if you live here you would know, South Africans in other countries are very happy there and do not feel like they do not belong there.
I've met blacks who said the same thing, again now living in Botswana. You get folks over here that were so against Apartheid, they knew little or nothing about South Africa. Where are they now! (Example Jessie Jackson)Henk said:Yes true. Never get me wrong I love my country before the new government f***ed everything up and made it like it is now. Some black people in South Africa said it was better living under the Apartheid government rather than now, then you must know how bad it is now.
