Dude, I really hope you will get to cross Africa from north to souh on your bike, that would probably be the biggest adventure of your life and you wouldn´t even have to get your butt frozen like you did during your legendary Eurotrip :D
Well, homeschooling is not forbidden here in my country but there are not many people who would dare to go for it with their kids. I mean 99,99% kids here go to regular schools... And yes, education in general is a big deal here. It sometimes feels like those without some university degrees are total losers, which doesn´t have to be true at all of course...
