  South Africa, Southern America
Having once lived in Sandy Springs, AG used to see a lot of this sign on cars:

Flag of South Africa--->


Upon investigating a Roswell Road restaurant called 10 degrees south, and being served ostrich, the SA presence became clear.

The South African Business Network of Atlanta seems pretty Boer. . . I mean, to judge by the names and language used on the website.


Cape Food and Beverage is also HQ'd in Atlanta, purveyors of "the diverse product mix of South African favorites". Most people have to shop online, but Atlantans can stop by the bricks-and-mortar store. Their #1 item? You guessed it, Mrs. Ball's Original Recipe Chutney. Ouma Buttermilk Rusks finish 4th and Mrs. Ball's Peach Chutney finishes in 7th.



And, of course, last year, Delta became the first US airline to break into the South Africa market with its Atlanta-Dakar-Johannesburg route.
 
Comments:
I hopped onto a flight from South Africa to the USA last year; and the things I missed most were:
- Marmite
- Just Juice
- my mother (just in case she's reading!)

I've noticed South Africans tend to speak afrikaans amongst themselves when overseas, even if they're english.

Atlanta is a city where you can still run into people you know down at the grocery store. But international? I'll argue "yes" ... in an argument now moved to Concourse E.
