Friday Five

Rodney's Friday Five:

1. Where were you born?
East London, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa

2. Where do you live now?
Somerset West, Western Cape Province, South Africa - come almost full circle!

3. How many countries have you visited?
6: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, UK, USA, Australia

4. How many countries have you lived in?
2: South Africa, Zimbabwe

5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
The Western Cape, where I live now, has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world - if you take the annual wind-blast of summer away. But I'd be happy anywhere that was my own, paid-for piece of land, preferably out in the bundu's (sticks, bush, less-inhabited areas). Places I've seen and liked are Far-North Queensland (Cairns area, Australia), Mutare (Zimbabwe), Brisbane (Australia) and the north Zimbabwe bushveld. Some I've dreamed of are Ireland, New Zealand, Ethiopia (one of Africa's best-kept secrets), Tuscany and the south of France.
