About Me

My photo
I am a new traveling fool. I've been a corporate travel junkie for one too many sales quarters and am ready to spend my hard earned cash... I'm taking a "sabbatical" for a while and hitting the road to travel. The trip should take me to six out of the seven continents if I don't run out of cash early.

First thoughts in Africa

Wow, I thought Asia was different than America! I'm getting the feeling Africa is going to be an amazing opportunity to continue learning outside of western dominated thought.

I'm at the joberg airport and there are six massive nuclear vent stacks (think the Simpsons). With everything that just happened in Japan I can't help but think a bit differently about nuclear power. I've also never seen this many stacks near each-other. This must be a similar design to the Japanese plant.

What else? I see a lot of smiles thus far. The south African accent is still a bit different than NZ and OZ.

Off to Zimbabwe in a few...
