Oh yeah and just for the record, my plan to have a pet elephant… well the idea that there are elephants, hippo’s and lions roaming around everywhere in Africa, is nearly as true as the fact that all aussies have pet kangaroos in their backyard. They really are just in the game reserves and national parks. I think “The lion king” hasn’t given us the truest representation… still a great movie though… Oh and there’s no clicks in the Chichewa language like in “The gods must be crazy” movie…thank goodness for that, I can’t even whistle properly let alone crazy clicking!
