the impact you may feel when you enter a culture very different from one to which you are accustomed.
For a modern country, there remains distinctly out-of-touch societal norms. The gap between rich and poor is vast and street beggars are a frequent sight, which can be something of a shock to any new expat. The historical background of Apartheid mixed with competing cultures makes for continuing tensions; however, the country still offers a heady combination of natural beauty, diversity, and business and lifestyle opportunity. For many, the collision of developed and developing elements makes for a stimulating, inspiring future.
