Things you know about but don't really think about until you are forced to experience them:

4. In South Africa, everything is in the metric system. That means degrees Celsius, kilometers not miles, grams not pounds.

5. I went grocery shopping today and spent 473 and some change...that is in Rand not Dollars, which is roughly $67. Everything is in Rand and the coversion rate is about R7 to $1.

More to come!
