You know you're getting used to South Africa when...

• A tractor blocks the only lane of traffic for half a day, and to get around it you either have to drive on the sidewalk or into oncoming traffic, and it doesn't even phase you
  
• You have forgotten about Starbucks
• You still don't have a phone line or internet access at home, but it will happen eventually, so why get impatient?
  
• You can greet the guards at the gate in English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Sotho and Ndebele
• You crave a good rugby game, Bovril and butter on bread, warm maize meal and some cordial
  
• You know the difference between "now", "now now" and "just now", and that none of them actually mean "now"!
