I am finding that better than telling you, I can show you! What I have done is documented experiences or reflected on the experiences through film. Through questions, dialogue and other conversations, I have found that South Africa is arguably the most westernized of all the African countries; major malls, similar patterns of dress and foods abount. There are McDonald's, KFC, Subway restaurants and more. The west has arrived! However, I went to some areas and had some conversations that really brought me face to face with some issues that required more self expression. I did meet Africa and I tried to capture as much of her as I could. Below is what I have been able to upload so far.</p><p> </p><br /><p align="center"> </p><br /><br /><p align="left"> </p><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-75c53424a86027c0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAHfApvOOOB_WlESfHfM9b019zbn8Bac9xdq_G9nNjfPVK5JcfiZgnwB67Fzvpc-FJxE9WLEIozNwes9i2B1vdOJqjGZqHPMzP3PxArVG7UqY2V2LMvqNbN23UkyfHDaK-NxiywxfkfpWXOPZlKOVIT2_IDwcI4b0X9OW20cQSioEITKv3oF-qJ0QNMjmJgQIxD7Zd61KQGyFHH7ECoDcB8vw3PzeDOpfwSN4zZ3hIYwq%26sigh%3DAz64Ip_IbwFsEOnHvkCeeEntGLM%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D75c53424a86027c0%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DjllNaPa5K1qYgCFLMIm2AFLWNZE&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAHfApvOOOB_WlESfHfM9b019zbn8Bac9xdq_G9nNjfPVK5JcfiZgnwB67Fzvpc-FJxE9WLEIozNwes9i2B1vdOJqjGZqHPMzP3PxArVG7UqY2V2LMvqNbN23UkyfHDaK-NxiywxfkfpWXOPZlKOVIT2_IDwcI4b0X9OW20cQSioEITKv3oF-qJ0QNMjmJgQIxD7Zd61KQGyFHH7ECoDcB8vw3PzeDOpfwSN4zZ3hIYwq%26sigh%3DAz64Ip_IbwFsEOnHvkCeeEntGLM%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D75c53424a86027c0%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DjllNaPa5K1qYgCFLMIm2AFLWNZE&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6105956370820943502-927253497531178?l=thecouchman.blogspot.com'/></div>Steve Couchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05217104589503545144noreply@blogger.com0
