    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 TH-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 only spent a couple months traveling throughout SA and have only been back home in the US for about 2 months but watching this video made me realize how much I miss SA!! Your slang video really hit hard because it reminded me of all the amazing friends I made over there. Also miss Mugg & Bean surprisingly :)

    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.

    There’s Woolworths in Australia and discount chemists too. The cheapest one is called Chemist Warehouse. Woolworths stock SA food and people drive on the left hand side. Wide roads, braais galore, still potholes but no load shedding. Also you can see for kilometres the Forrest or the open fields and there’s lots of animals too.

    Hi Melissa, I´m a South African, and I´m in Portugal for 19 years now, I came a child. What I miss the most is the biltong, fanta grape, the braais(in a South African way), the weather, but what I miss the most is the people, the way people behave, so nice and lovely. Nice vlog Melissa, do more. Peace and love to you all.

    Lived in Uganda for 21 years and missed bovril, nice brown bread, good biltong, (to mention a few) for years. Also missed DisChem. 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.

    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.

    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!!!!!
