There really seems to be no other country on the planet that offers two such distinct worlds in that way SA does; it's almost like two separate countries operating within the same border.

Yeah I think SA is really unique in the world that it does this. It's part of the reason I love it, even though this is kind of a bad thing. I've been to a number of countries and SA is simultaneously the most familiar and unique!
