I once took a writing class that urged us not to used the cliched language that I used in the title. But after six days in South Africa, I think it's the contrasts that really define the country. It is the nicest place I've been, and one of the poorest places I've been. One day I was spending the night in a ramshackle house in a township, the next I was drinking fine wine in an opulent estate built into the mountains. It is a place I could live if I was able to get past the inequality. A little house in the ocean side community of Betty's Bay would do.
