The Afrikaans is pretty... um, earthy.

In other news, I spent a ridiculous number of hours this weekend playing Assassin's Creed II and it's mostly your fault. :)

I got one dye job for Tuscany before I went there, on the theory it would help me blend in a bit. Ha. Haven't bought any other clothes.

I gotta say, these cities employ some of the STUPIDEST guards in existence.
