Lived there and it was great.
Although on the whole they have rubbish geography or world knowledge. On a few occasions when asked where I was from and replying "South Africa" I would get asked "Yeah....(long silence where brain could be seen ticking away) which country?". I would then have to explain that South Africa was a country and I wasn't referring to the fact I lived in the Southerly Part of the 2nd largest continent. On occasion I also had to explain what apartheid was and most of them had never heard of Nelson Mandela.
