Competition time!

I was recently invited to enter a competition where you can win a return trip to Jo'burg, from London, for 4 nights. You had to describe why you wanted to go. I entered, and answered the question as follows:

'Jo'burg is the place where I can really feel my heart beating, not because I am nervous of being hijacked or murdered, but rather because it is my home, and a place where the majority of people recognise the importance of a simple smile. London is a big machine, where things work, but unfortunately people seem to have lost something along the way. The individual pursuit of material success has contaminated the very reason for being, and sadly people have lost their identities. Every now and then I treat myself to a piece of ridiculously expensive drywors, not just because I love the taste, but more importantly because it reminds me of home. These memories fade as quickly as the daylight hours of the end of the british summer. Please send me home to remind me why I love SA so much.'

Holding thumbs!
