"This is Africa" by Andrew Hurwitz

When the Term T.I.A. (This is Africa) Becomes Applicable


When you eat breakfast at the same bar you were at the night before


When your cab driver chooses what you’re going to do that night


When a traffic light is called a “robot”


When all gates are electric and high voltage signs are the most common sign around


When you actually hear a person tell you to take a left at the next robot


When a taxi holds over 16 people


When your T.A. helps you the most when you’re playing slots


When a restaurant’s menu has warthog, kudu, crocodile, and springbok


When penguins become aggressive


When elephants are obedient and listen well


When the locals think you’re insane for climbing Table Mountain


Move jackal, we don’t want to see you we want to see liiiiions


When winery tours are free


When baboons are attracted to the girls on our trip


When docking a boat requires hitting a beach at top speed. Everyone, hold on…


When you always find yourself waking up to Johnny Clegg on adventure week


When everyone calls you “my friend” and “cheers” means goodbye


When goodbye celebrations at the township turn into raging dance parties


When you miss a call from one of your parents


When you’re late to class
