//How does the climate and geography of South Africa affect the country?//
What are some inventions and products from South Africa and where have they spread? Potluck Breakfast Reflection March 7th, 2012 Draft

I really liked the Potluck Breakfast because I got to try new food. I also got to see what people wear in their country for different celebrations. I did not get to try all of the things because there were so many people. For the potluck breakfast I brought something called Koesisters (cooksisters) and that is an Afrikaanse South African word. I chose is because it is very South African.
