South Africa is full of history and culture. From our beautiful beaches to our stunning animals, we are full of excitement. Whether it's a tasty curry or cheesy pasta, South Africa has it all.

That all Canadians end a sentence with "eh". This may have been true in the 1970's and was more relevant in Eastern and Maritime Canada; now it's a cliche that is used occasionally. "Eh" is similar in logic to the word "yo", which can be a greeting, a sign of agreement or even used to emphasize something (by pointing and saying "Yo!"). "Yo", however, is almost exclusively used in Greater New York state but not anywhere else.
