    South Africa – Language, Culture and Festivals
    Last night I sat watching the repeat telecast of one of the football matches, played during the FIFA ’10 World Cup, relayed on some sports channel. I’d had a tiring day, so the idea of going to my cozy bed interested me more than watching the repeated goals-glory. But another thought struck me and was awakened from my virtual sleep.

More than the answer I was interested in knowing more about the country, South Africa, especially in the languages and tribal culture there.

Instead, the spectacular desert scenery of Libya is my setting instead, very nearly 700 km southeast of Tripoli as the bird flies and as if to greet my arrival the desert dervishes dance up a sandstorm all around me, clouding out everything with the golden particles acting as a blanket. In a few minutes the silent song and dance show is all over and all that remains is sand snaking its way around the car. What a welcoming committee! I’m only glad I’m not on camelback and that things didn’t get fiercer. The desert can be treacherous and hard to negotiate, and all you can do at times is to hope to be the good side of  [...]
