Animals Galore, and a Big Hole in the Ground!

Dates of travel: various trips throughout 2009

As I mentioned in the previous post, this job has led to me spending a lot of time in South Africa. Throughout 2009, I went there an additional 4 times. This post is just for a few more photos taken throughout those trips.

It's one, small step for Matt... One 14 hour flight to Johannesburg...

Dates of travel: 26 October 2008 - 07 December 2008

I can honestly say that South Africa had never even registered on my radar as a place to which I would one day go. When my boss told me on the first day of my new job that I was to be assigned to South Africa as my initial region of responsibility, I said "I know absolutely nothing about it!" Luckily for me, I was going to be working with an ex-pat colleague from RSA, so that made getting used to the country a whole lot easier. This first time I went there was along with this colleague, and I have to say it was comforting to be there with a local!

Now, as I write this on 01 December 2014, I have been there 17 times. How things change!
