Things I haven't done. Yet.
Since Casyn asked so nicely in her post, I suppose I could share a few of the things that I have never done before.
It was harder than I expected, and a disturbing amount of my initial ideas involved food of some sort. And places I've never been, but considering that I have only ever been on a quick trip to England, that's not really surprising.
So here goes.

So here goes.
- I have never done bungee jumping, and I probably never will. I would be willing to try out skydiving any day, but there is just something about going head first that totally freaks me out.
- I have never tasted oysters. Anybody offering?
- I have never failed my learner's licence, even though I wrote it 4 times. ( Long story involving a lot of procrastination on my part)
- I have never stopped reading a book to go and look up a word that I didn't understand completely. I usually just get too caught up in the story to bother, but I sometimes do it later, if I remember.
- I have never spent more than R300 on shoes. Not when there is a perfectly good bookshop just around the corner. It's in my genes I tell you!
- I have never seen Casablanca, Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane.
- I have never been able to keep my hands clean while writing, painting or drawing. It sometimes feels like the ink/paint/crayon/charcoal/marker is magnetically attracted to my hands, and by extention, my face.
- I have never seen real snow. I missed it by a few days when I was in England. Very sad.
- I have never tasted any whiskey (scotch, bourbon, whatever) that I liked. I most probably never will.
- I have never ridden on a camel. It looks like it could be fun.
- I have never been able to study for something more than 2 or 3 days in advance. I just can't. It doesn't stick.
- I have never climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, but it is on my list of things to do before I die.

Not much to oysters - it's actually just the tabasco you taste...
Also, a woman who doesn't waste money on shoes? Sounds too good to be true!
Have you seen Lawrence of Arabia?
Like I said, I've got other priorities than shoes.
I saw Lawrence of Arabia when I was little and even though I didn't understand it completely, some of the scenes made a big impression on me.
I recently saw it again and it was just as visually beautiful as I remembered, with the added bonus of actually understanding the story.
Ja – nee, I must say on all the things on your list, the only thing I can say that do not apply to my life is that I did saw snow ones and it is beautiful. Lekker dag vi jou.
Why is everyone so surprised by the shoe thing?
Did the whiskey thing in my youth.
By and large, I don't touch the stuff, now.
"I have never seen Casablanca, Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane."
Me too!
I find that once you've seen some of the older classic films, I see some of the more recent ones differently.
I'm guessing it's because the more recent films 'lift' elements from their predecessors.
Riding a camel isn't quite on my life list of things to do, the same way drinking wine and learning to speak Japanese don't make the final cut...
