I think I should try and be more truthful this trip to South Africa…sometimes when in other countries I feel that white lies are both acceptable and amusing.

Last time, when asked by a young South African girl if I knew Justin Bieber, I replied that I did! We were both from Ontario, which meant we were neighbours. She freaked out and I walked away…

I also may have told everyone in Hennie’s family that all women in Canada were my size. I told them it was incredibly important for women to have blubber on their bodies in order to stay warm during the long, cold, Canadian winters…they believed me…

I may just leave that last one as is.
