From Biltong To Yorkshire Puddings

Well hello there!

Once again, thanks for clicking on the link which leads to the rants and raves of a 16 year old teen.

So, wondering about the title? Well let me clear things up for you. In my first blog I explained how I'm basically from two countries. I got pretty used to living in South Africa, now I live in Yorkshire (North of England). So, that explains my title. From Biltong (a favorite food in SA) and Yorkshire Pudding (A favorite Yorkshire food). For those who don't know, biltong is dried meat, and Yorkshire pudding is NOT pudding! *gasp* It goes well with gravy and beef. So, away from the food, this entry is about the main differences between SA and England.

1. The People
One thing I found in SA, was that you were never far away from a nice person. People were friendly. School was a pleasure, simply because of the friends.
In England..... well... finding someone who doesn't want to make me question an entire generation of parents is like trying to find a non-foreign England cricketer.
Winner: South Africa

2. The Government
Ah, the ANC. The current party in power in South Africa. Status: Openly Corupt. The president of SA has been on trial for rape, and they like to treat themselves with new cars and houses with tax money. Jealous England?
Now, I've never really understood English politics. But I do know that if they are corrupt, they hide it rather well. And, as I have a friend who is on his way to Oxford to study politics, I will consult him and get back to you
Winner: England

3. Crime
Oh yes, it's the never ending debate. I'll start with South Africa. So, i'll say that living in SA isn't the safest thing ever, but it is not as bad as people make it out to be. If you act safely and don't act stupid, you'll be relativley safe.
Now, England. As someone who goes to college here, and who has a brother in school, I will say that it is scarier here. Not because of the grown up criminals, but the youth. I have a game where I try guess how many people are carrying knives. I just feel like they feel that if they are messed with, it's crime time.
So the first shock of the tournament Winner: South Africa

So, I will continue this next week, and name a final winner.
