    Yeah, South Africa is one of the best countries in the world. We may have political and social issues but it's ours and we're proud of them.
    Great challenge by the way, it feels so good hearing a South African voice on UA-cam

      Simba chips are low quality junk. You eat them often they will scratch the roof of your mouth. Stopped eating them completely. I guess there is something better in the USA since food is cheap.

    I miss Smoked Beef chips. I miss biltong and have started making my own. I miss Iron Brew... I even miss the word bru lol. I miss Afrikaans people's blatant racism. I miss Castle Lite, I miss driving on the proper side of the road, I miss Lemon n Herb, I miss Hake, I miss cheap Chinese food, I would kill for a December holiday in summer, I miss Black people, I miss getting my hair cut by someone who knows what they are doing, I miss reasonable Swazi, I miss DSTV, I miss Sunday Times, I miss Chisa Nyama, I miss the Townships, I miss calling mixed race people Coloured, I miss iKota, I miss Indians. I miss knowing there is wild life everywhere around me even though I don't visit the Zoo, I miss cheap airtime, I miss rugby. I would binge on 7 de Laan right now even though I've never watched an episode. I miss Jozi, I miss Cape Town and Durban, I miss my car. I even miss my exes, I miss speaking my own language, I miss wearing All Stars till they fall of my feet, I miss South Africans complaining about relocating, I miss Vicks and Bostol. I miss drinking water straight from the tap but mostly I miss the people.

    When I lived in South Africa I'd always wanted to move overseas permanently, then I got a permanent job overseas and I've changed my mind completely now. Despite ANC, Zuma, Guptas, crime and potholes, SA you beauty. I'm never moving anywhere permanently, SA will always be home for me. 3 things I miss about SA:
    - Woolworths Food
    - Vrigin Active
    - DsTV
    I kid you not, you will not have any similar experience anywhere.

    Hi there! I am Jose from Madrid, Spain! I've been working and living in Cape Town for 3 wonderful and lovely years... I miss only one thing: EVERYTHING! Over there I felt totally free, connected with mother nature, walking without shoes!, eating lovely game meat, traveling and spotting wildlife in National Parks and Nature Reserves... Wines, what an amazing wines and wine farms! Extraordinary landscapes and hikes! Great food and wild braais with friends! The sun light is extraordinary beautiful... what about people? everyone has been really friendly with me. I have made a lot of friends... coming from Spain right after winning the World Cup was easier... I was a champion hehehehe.... In summary, South Africa has given me all I need to become a better man and these 3 lovely years living there has changed my way of living my life ... LOVE YOU SA!!!! T.I.A!!!!!

Now I am like a child in a chocolate factory..every shop is amazing and the variety of the same food is almost overwhelming. Just great to be home - might not be for good but i will enjoy it while i can. I missed the way people talk - can listen for hours. Good luck with your adventures.

    My husband was born in England, but raised in Johannesburg South Africa from age seven until he moved here to Canada in his early 40’s. He said one thing he misses is the jacaranda trees, with their purple blossoms, in September/October......which he told me is spring time there. We don’t have those trees here in Canada. Another thing he misses is celebrating Christmas in the summer. lol In other words, having Christmas in warm sunny weather. He REFUSES to acclimatize to our snowy cold winters here!! He complains bitterly all winter......even though we have plenty of warm clothing.....leaving us no excuse to complain about being cold! lol

    The best way to be happy is to stop chasing happiness. Happy is very self focused. Joy is the overflow of a greatful heart. Practice gratitude about everything. If you don't have big things to be grateful for because your spouse or your parent or your child died (mine did) be grateful for small things like chocolate. Give yourself permission to be happy when you suffer a great loss. Remember to always do the next right thing. No matter how bad you have messed up you can crawl out one right act at a time.

    Hi there! Love your videos. I am living in Australia and I really miss the zoo biscuits. We used to be able to get them in Woolworths but then they stopped selling them! Also really miss the biltong.

    I know how you feel +MelissaInLisbon . I am from Pretoria, but I live in Canada now. I miss the land and the wildlife so much. I wouldn't mind seeing potholes either. We actually have an SA shop near us, so we can buy Aromat, Fizzers, Chappies, biltong, etc. Make sure you enjoy and appreciate Oros, and the marshmallows with coconut on them. I miss those! And rusks... boy, I would love a rusk now. Anyway, thanks for the video! Take care.

    I'm a South African, but born and raised in Belgium. I only go back to SA during the holidays in July and August. I really enjoy running into other South Africans abroad, because the beautiful SA accent reminds me of all my family back in SA. And yo, it's so hard to get droewors and biltong over here. But most of all: ek mis dit om lekker rugby te kyk by die braai.

Gosh we even have a Spur! My boyfriend is South African and I just LOVE the South Africa culture. The food, the respect and friendliness. We braai all the time too and it's baie lekker. He even taught me a little Afrikaans😁 O how I wish I lived in SA...

    I Never Moved but was in the States for half a year and I remember also missing Sparletta Cream Soda big time. I had found a cream soda in the states but it was nothing like ours...was vanilla tasting and had a honey bee on the glass bottle label. MY BRAIN was SO CONFUSED LOL. Also the diversity of different cultures, traditions and people. South Africa has the best of things from the states and europe. So much more variety in sweets, chips (crisps), chocolates, food etc. SA music....aaaah. I LOVE SA!! #ANOTHERAWESOMEVIDEOMEL

    Hi, I am from a South Africa and I'm living in the USA at the moment and I have missed SA so much! The food and the accent and the language! People in America don't understand "lis" and "lekker" and "eina" when you hurt yourself. I am an aupair so I taught my one little host girl to say "eina" when she hurts herself. I miss Woolworths! They have the best sweeties and food.😬😬😬
