What I Learned:
I learned that South African food is somewhat like Amercian. Their mieliebrood is like our corn bread , boerewors ae like our sausage , and they have biltong which is like beef jerkey that we eat. I also learned that they hosted a FIFA world cup , i find that interesting and that they were called " The Rainbow Nation" because it has a long racial confilct with white and blacks. They also have learned that Indian and Caucasian people live in South Africa too. Their president , Jacob Zuma , had a count of 18 children from "official" wives and several girlfriends. The flag stands for white and blacks which I think is cool because you always know your welcome in that country no matter what color or race you are.
