Good job man & all the best for the fund raising! Good on your mom for getting you guys out.

Gun violence in South Africa and friends leaving the country go hand-in-hand.

My neighbour was shot in the head during a robbery and I caught 2 guys stealing our car at 2am which didn't end pretty. Family members killed in farm murders and friends hijacked at gunpoint. Everyone has a story.

Now proudly a Norwegian citizen and haven't been killed once. I still have that "looming" feeling whenever things get too comfortable. It's hard to shake.

I guess my question is...how do you explain the difference between biltong and beef jerky to people?

Longyearbyen is a gem. I've been fortunate enough to visit it 3 times before...and heading back there again next month.

@Franziska, are you focussing on the historical numbers and human-impacts for Jan Mayen as well? I believe the last bear was shot there in the 80s...and the fauna is now limited to birds and 2 huskies (Storm & Kuling).
