I love it when other cultures can recognize us by how we are or how we dress/look. What made me think of this is a story my friend told me the other day. My friend moved to Switzerland about a year ago after marrying a Swiss woman. They recently had a little boy and he’s staying there permanently now. For context, he used to be a game ranger in South Africa, but of course, he doesn’t do that there, although you can imagine how he dresses. He was on a hike in one of the beautiful forests when a guy stopped him and asked if he was from South Africa. Completely surprised, he asked how he knew. The guy replied, “We could tell you’re South African because it’s 4 degrees and you’re wearing shorts, flip-flops, and a parka.” He could only laugh. Afrikaans men’s legs don’t get cold as we know... 🤣 What is the "Afrikaans" thing you do? Or how do your recognise us without fail every time?   submitted by   /u/EwaldCloete [link]   [comments]
