Todd: OK, Leath, you're from Zimbabwe. Could you talk about that?
Leath: Yeah, OK. Well, I'm from Harare, which is the capital of Zim. And I was born there. My folks are British. My dad is from Manchester and my mom is from Scottland. They went out a long time ago. And, yeah, growing up in Zimbabwe was "lacker" as we say there. That means really cool in Africans. It was like..you grow up in an open free place with animals and sunshine and it's just a really healthy place to be. Well at least it was. Today it's not doing to well because the economy is crashed, but growing up there was really slick.
Todd: Wow! What animals could you see?
Leath: Ah, just about an hours drive out of any city, you are liable 1 to come across just about anything. I've seen leapords often at night about an hour out of the capital where I live. You see monkeys along the road, right up to the city outskirts 2. In certain areas you'll have to stop for elephants. There's quite a few buck 3 warning signs because they are actully quite dangerous at night. They jump across the road and your cars hit them at windscreen height. It is a bit of a problem. So, there's buck everywhere. And then away from residential 4 areas, there's you know your big five, rhino 5, lion being the most... well interesting and I guess for foreigners. They are never really never around human settlement cause they are very very dangerous. They do take people from time to time.
Todd: Wow! That's fascinating. Thanks a lot Leath.
Leath: You're welcome buddy 6! OK.
