Hints and tips for newbie

[SAfirsttimer]

As my user name suggests I am visiting South Africa for the first time, which will be in July to work at a community project, Quarry Heights, near Durban. Can anyone give me any hints and tips for first time visitors?

Tips. Have big ears,slow to judge,ask genine questions,blend and try not to give unsolicited advise.Becareful what you say about people from your own country. It might just sound exactly like the stereotyping comments and assumptions used towards previously disadvantaged people here......D
