I don't listen to Sarah. I really don't.
When she has problems and feels down and depressed I try and solve them for her. But I shouldn't. I should just listen. And support her. If she needs solutions to her problems, she'll ask.
I just have to listen.
So here I go...

I love my country
But I loath the current regime for screwing it up!
I shouldn't even be considering immigration. That thought shouldn't even have entered my mind! But it did. And it does. And it will continue to - and I blame our rulers for that!
I love my country. I love our natural beauty. I love our people and our food and our culture.
Sitting here so far away from home - I miss it. I really do. It's a wonderful place. Unique in so many ways. But...
I loath my government. I loath our crime problem. I loath incompetence and laziness and the corrupt.
They just don't seem to be able to fix problems. No wait... Let me rephrase that... They just don't seem to be able to admit that there are problems! They don't even get to the fixing part.
And complain? They label you a racist.
Or they try and pass the buck by asking "what are you doing to help?".
Fuck you! I am a hard-working, non corrupt member of society and thus I am already doing more than you are!
Stop blaming the past! Stop blaming the West! Stop lining your pockets with bribes! Stop looking for excuses, rewarding incompetence, helping out an old corrupt struggle buddy, putting your needs in front of those you serve.
JUST STOP!
And fix my country.
I'll help. My family and friends will help. We'll all help. But we need you, too.
So, please, just stop. And start showing us that you are capable of running our country. If you're not, step down. If you are, fix it.
Because we all love our country.

Missing
I hate feeling homesick.
I hate missing Sarah and my loved ones. I hate missing speaking my language. I hate missing spending time with family and friends. I hate missing rugby. I hate missing 47" TVs. I hate missing the traffic. I hate missing bad public service. I hate missing electricity blackouts.
I hate missing.
But what I hate most of all, is that when I'm home, I'll still hate missing Sarah...
