Never cross a road at a pedestrian crossing in South Africa without making sure that oncoming vehicles actually stop for you.
I stop when I see pedestrians waiting at crossings and people honk their horns. Hell, even the pedestrians are so surprised, they don't seem to know what to do...

I'm planning to rent my house and get the hell of out of SA for the duration of the Cup.

At this point, cars started to furiously overtake me, creating a middle row between me and the cars going the other way. In the meantime the old lady stood in the middle of the street, her eyes bulging and scared to death because she felt she HAD to cross the street just because I was being nice. At some point, I thought she was going to throw herself in front of the incoming cars and pray for a miracle. Eventually, she went back to her side of the street and I never stopped in pedestrian crossings in Bulgaria again. It's too dangerous for the pedestrians.
