1. Camping - We would go camping once every two months, basically just an excuse to go be naughty in nature somewhere. Game drives, farm dam swims, wildlife, and drunken arguments around a dying camp fire. Au Revoir!
2. Knowing somebody anywhere you go - Lets face it JHB is a small town and being able to walk into old acquaintances practically anywhere is the one thing I love most about this town.
3. London Pie - Especially after a long night out, sitting at the garage in a stupor dribbling pepper sauce down my chin.
4. My family and friends - We've spent the last two years eating around the same table almost everyday and then carrying on down at RES or scrooges or Paddy's. R10 draughts at Paddy's. Why must I leave you? Specifically Tim, Candice, Daniel, Bianca, Jess, Andrew and Max - you guys make my life.
5. Braai's that turn into parties that turn into breakfasts - Seriously how many times has a small gathering turned into a thumpa thumpa? It's just a year but I don't want you people having fun without me.
6. Complete and utter political nonsense - Maybe I shouldn't be nostalgic about how crazy and retarded our politicians can be but it's my country and I'm going to miss sitting around whining over the latest meltdown.
7. Castle, draughts and pub quizzes - Apparently the U.S.A drinks more beer than we do but they obviously drinking the wrong beer.
8. Fighting over shortcuts - at this stage everyone I know feels like they know the JHB roads better than everyone else - you don't I do, take oxford, duh!
9. Steers, nando's and good cheap food - Everybody who has been overseas will tell you that South Africans eat better than everybody else. Our chickens look like chickens and our cows come from down the road.
10. Thunderstorms - When it is suddenly pitch black outside and it goes deathly quiet. You can smell a good storm before it breaks and then mother nature puts on a light show before drawing back and allowing you to carry on swimming.
