To the South African Teacher, Thank you very much for being a good ambassador for South Africa. Other very South African products are: Five Roses Tea, Rooi Bos Tea, Mrs. Balls chutney (definitely), Marie Biscuits, Tennis Biscuits, Ripe Fig Preserve, Apricot Preserve... We've got good stuff in South Africa.

As a South African; all gold tomato sauce, fruit chutney, fruit chutney flavoured stuff like simba chips, biltong, jelly tots, Cadburys chocolate, wors and basically snacks and food 🤣 also five roses tea. A good cup of five roses always perks me up

[@christinakavanagh3912]

Oh thank you! I’ll have to try it!

[@mazzy305]

I’m an Aussie that spent a year in Canada and I took a huge jar of Vegemite, I met some fellow Australians who had been there for a few years and they were all jealous of my Vegemite haha. My mum also ended up sending me my favourite pepper steak seasoning since I couldn’t find an alternative that I liked. She also sent me large photos of the view from my bedroom and some of our back yard because I was living in an apartment in the middle of a city for the first time and was missing the trees. I know now that if I move to another country again these are the things I will take with me every time.

I LOVE the way Walter laughs with that "pfft" sound.... I love too much for my own good😅😅😅🤣

Chantelle! There are these amazing stores called Kokoro all around Gauteng that sell a variety of Korean and other Asian products. There is a small one in Pretoria very close to the University, but the best one is in Rivonia. They are amazing! I hope your family get to check them out and you get to check them out on your next visit 😉

Idk why but Walter really looks younger and more kid like than the others especially in this episode... HE LOOKS SO CUTE

Mrs Balls😁, all flavours. Great with mince dishes.

[@ltmaneveld]

Chantel you rock! Big thumbs up from a saffer in China.

[@WillemKok1963]

Walter and John, it is Mrs Ball's chutney - as English teachers you should pay attention to the apostrophe, then you will be able to keep a straight face. Let Chantelle cook you some bobotie with Mrs Ball's, you'll be asking for your own Mrs Ball's when she goes back to SA again. The Jalapeno and Chilly flavours are tops!

[@lifeofjohn3993]

But it's so much more fun to ignore that little apostrophe.... 😂😂😂

[@shelbyfries8304]

A big, green, can of Bag balm. I've healed and grown back so much skin with Bag balm.(sorry if that sounded weird TMI) 5 Generations of my family will swear by it! I grew up with it and, seriously, I don't know how to live without it! I've actually scooped and washed out a smaller travel size case of a different brand lip balm that had a tighter fitting lid that I liked and filled it with Bag balm so I can always have some with me.😄

[@kimcass4440]

Same. A friends needs me to pick him up from the airport two and a half hours away this week. I said yes because it’s right next to a giant Korean market, and I plan to buy a ton of groceries. Korean food is the best!

[@keandric2765]

Not just in the Southern. A lot of us in the Northern Hemisphere don't have fast internet Either. At least not as fast as Korea. I think even Japan has fast internet. I remember reading once that, in terms of internet speed and connectivity or something, the US was like a decade behind S. Korea. I think Korea is just an exception. They have one of the fastest internet speeds in the world I think. I've always been jealous. Lol :)

@@MetaphysicalExplorations I have seen it around in our local supermarkets...not sure of other South African foods though because I don't know the brands.

What I wish I could bring back from SA is biltong. You can't get anything like it here in Korea. South African biltong is the best beef jerky in the world!

[@chaos691]

For people who don't understand the scale of South Korean Wi-Fi's superiority over Australian: Data from www.speedtest.net/global-index with numbers stated here the average of the country's mobile and fixed broadband (home internet) stats: South Korea: 124.41 Mbps USA: 91.165 Mbps UK: 51.775 Mbps South Africa: 33.345 Mbps Australia: 56.75 Mbps It's worth noting that of these countries, Australia is the only one whose average mobile speed is faster than the fixed broadband speed (by almost 1.5x, actually. Mobile speeds average around 67.5 whereas fixed broadband averages 46). South Africa had the least difference between mobile and fixed speeds, with a difference of less than 4 Mbps (almost 35 fixed, 31.8 mobile). The proportional difference between mobile and fixed broadband in Australia is almost completely reversed in the UK - there, fixed broadband is 67 (like Australia's mobile; this is also 1.5x faster than Australia's fixed broadband), and UK mobile speeds average 36 Mbps (slower than Australia's broadband, and just over half their average mobile speed). In fact, upon further looking through the numbers, Australia's average mobile internet outspeeds South Africa, the UK, and the USA, by a fairly large margin, however trails behind the USA and the UK in terms of broadband speeds.

Things I want to phone home for are: Rooibos tea, some toiletries, deep heat, germolene, sinutab (the strong one), and a few others.

There was a video about American kids reacting to other countries snacks and their barbecues, you might find that very interesting too. I'm from South Africa and loved to see how people reacted to some of our favourite things.

But it is very entertaining to watch
