Kay, I would feel overwhelmed looking at my texts, maybe not so much my notes. The internet is a great way to refresh our fading info. I think if you looked up ACE vs. ARBs one of the first things the...
Leon1984 - I know what you mean - which would present more of a problem - being a woman or African American in SA, based on the reports of others. Just remember, if you are interested in travel...
age2grow: when do you find out? I obviously can't say how you did, but while you wait to find out, remember that many people think they failed when they didn't. Let us know and good luck.
