Practically, South African

Today I realised just how 'South African' I am. I love Dickensian streets, cobbled and crowded, hodgepodge and higgledy piggledy of little shops and offices. Living in Edinburgh is like living in a favourite book.

But when I walked into a real undercover shopping mall, with maps indicating "You are Here" and escalators and big glass windows, I wanted to fall down and kiss the shiney floor. AAAHH! What happened to my romantic heart?

Now I know where to go when I feel homesick!
