One of the things that I do in my spare time is “drive around” some part of the world using Google Maps. When I did a wealthy area in Sudafrica I immediately notices that every house was walled off from the street (and I mean every house) at its front property line. There would be an electric gate to drive in and out.

Try it - look up Glenhazel on Google Maps and drive around.

Bobl, I LOVE doing that!

Yesterday I “drove” through Pyongyang, North Korea. What a NASTY place that is from the Bird’s Eye!

I will now go to Glenhazel at your suggestion.

BTW, I’ve been to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Beijing, Katmandu, Agra, Mumbai, Diego Garcia, Tahiti, Iwo Jima, Seoul, Rangoon, Mandalay, Paris, Rome, Cairo, Jerusalem, and Many American Cities. I went to Saigon the other day too.

I once was at a meeting in Durban and I had to cab in from Umlaanga Rocks, along miles and miles of streets lined by steel gates and high walls, some with razor wire. Honestly, it looked in places like a gigantic prison.

I asked the cabbie about it once, and he said, "Oh, yes - just like in America".

He wasn't kidding.
