Language.
Wikipedia defines language as ‘a system of visual, auditory or tactile symbols of communication and the rules used to manipulate them’. Let’s apply this to South Africa, where there are eleven official languages, incidentally making us the number two in the world for most languages spoken. A census conducted in 2001 named our top four:
• Zulu (23.8%) • Xhosa (17. ...
LOW IMMUNE SYSTEM?
Cold sores are caused by the Herpes Simplex virus. After exposure to the virus it remains in the body and causes a little blister to form most commonly on the lips. These can burn and itch. They then burst and form a yellowish crust. They reoccur when the immune system is lowered, when under stress, after a sunburn or in cold weather. Both natural and conventional medicines can decrease the severity and the ...
LADIEN LEIBENBERG in Taiwan
Waking up to the sound of temple worship music, I open the front garage door (that hasn’t been locked since I’ve moved in), get on my scooter (hello helmet-hair) and drive through the crazy streets of Taiwan, where the traffic lights are only for decoration.
Living here, I’ve come to realize exactly how far the east is from the west. The true meaning of a natural disaster, having your home flooded by a Ty ...
LONELY HEARTS CLUB
It’s the day highly anticipated by those in love, and much dreaded by those who are single. Yes, you guessed it -Valentine’s Day is upon us once again. The day has such an immense hype in the month’s preceding it that singles very often become depressed at the thought of not having a partner to buy them candies, chocolates and flowers. Sometimes the sense of isolation becomes so strong, that many singles te ...

As a day to officially tell your loved ones how you feel, it is troubling that to many people the day signifies spending big bucks - because the more you spend the more you love them, right? Wrong! Showing someone you care on Valentine’s Day does not have to cost you an arm and a leg, and with the looming credit crunch, you ...
LABOUR REMEDIES
Homeopathic remedies for Labour
There are many homeopathic remedies that can ease and aid labour. These are not all commonly found in health food stores or chemists though it is possible to buy them over the telephone from many of the homeopathic pharmacies.
Arnica – this should be taken in a high potency like a 200c. I suggest taking one pill at the onset of labour. Take another when in advanced labour ...
LOUISE VAN DEN DOOL in Dubai
South Africa is a great place and it will always be my home but Dubai is out of this world they are making the impossible possible. They will have the two tallest buildings in the world and the tallest hotel in the world and who would have thought of creating islands in the sea in the shape of a Palm let alone in the shape of the world. The infrastructure and development will blow you away. Social life is n ...
LAVERNE WYATT-SKRIUBAKKEN in Norway
The best thing about Norway is the nature! Norway is the fairytale land I grew up seeing in kiddies books. I thought such places did not really exist. The awesome mountains, cute little wooden houses (capped with snow in winter) and breathtaking views create a wonderland ripe for exploring any season.
The Biggest cultural difference: The spirit of ubuntu. Each person is an independent and self sufficient i ...
