Don't talk business yet

Dutch manager: Well, how is business going here in South Africa? Any new emerging markets here?

South African manager: Emerging markets??? You should not talk about business yet, let me show you our beautiful country first.

Dutch manager thinks: Show me the country??? I am not a tourist!

South African manager thinks: Crazy Dutchman, always talk about business first…

In South Africa people are very proud of their country. They always would like to show you around in their beautiful country. So always take this in account when visiting South Africa, and stay a couple of days longer!

P.S. Nature is beautiful there, so enjoy it! Even when you are a busy businessman :-)

I remember my first trip to South Africa. I was there for important business. When I got back home everybody thought I went there for holiday, when seeing my photo's of the Kruger Park and Table Mountain!

Kruger Park and Table Mountain only?
In my first trip to South Africa I had these two combined with a visit to Drakensbergen and a full day of whale and dolphin spotting!!!
