| Cultural Insight |
| Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Dewan: South Africans always say thank you and will say it a few times if they think someone really goes out their way. People would think you are rude if you don't say thank you. Dankie is almost the easiest thing to learn and will take you a long way. |
