If not now, then when?

If I do not stopping blogging now? Then when? I can continue forever. But I can also use this time for my research, which is going really well! I can also fill this time with adventures things, like paragliding this Friday. I’d better work on my research towards my Communication Bachelor degree. If that is finished in two weeks I can chill and have a holiday till December 10th, when I’m flying back to the Netherlands. But first my mother and sister are coming over to visit. Finally I will see them again and I can show them all the nice things here. And when they are leaving, I still have a month to do all the things I want to do here. Because if not know, then when? I have this date that everything must be done here. I think that will be hard for my South African friends, as they always keep inviting me and planning great things, which never happen. So lets do it right know! (After I said thanks to you Marian, for having this great experience in your class :)

The best medicine

What do you do when you are having a flu? I laid in bed for five days with a head full of snot. My boyfriend bought me painkillers, cough syrup, vitamin drugs, nasal, and a lot of tissues. It helped, I was slowly getting better. But normally it doesn’t take me so long to feel better. The thing was; my mammy was not here. Normally when I feel sick I go to my parents immediately. My mom and sister will take care of me and cook things which make me feel better. I am already in South Africa now for  101 days and I really miss my family. I miss my friends, the food. But maybe the most of all my bicycle. I have one here, but cycling here is so different! It is dangerous to cycle, I can’t park my bicycle properly and there can be mountain along the way. The best thing about a bicycle is that you can drink and drive. But not here, because cycling during night time is not possible at all. OK cycling didn’t make me better. It was a lot of rest, boring days in bed. I couldn’t read of watch movies or stuff. I felt to sick even for that. I think it was three years ago that I was so sick as this. Next time I hope I’ll be sick at my moms house again. Because I can have all the medicines of the world, but the best one is your mammy!

Watch this space

It is empty, there are no decorations. The only thing that it is here is one ugly couch, it doesn’t even sit nice. I parked my bicycle here, it looks nice, but normally you park it in the garage. Then we have one space with a bed, closet and table. There is no nightstand, mirror or chair. In the kitchen there are four glasses and three mugs, two small frying pans and enough plates. How can I cook a meal? Is it possible to have guests? Look at the sealing, its all brown and yellow; it leaks. Also the bathroom is leaking, I have a swimming pool around my toilet. The only way to the bathroom is trough the kitchen, that’s a weird thing. Last, but not least I have a grass bush in my garden, because the landlord doesn’t want to mow it. And off course those steps were I slipped off. Ach, at least I can park my car behind my electric fence. But oh, the fence isn’t under voltage. Oh and I am not a client anymore at the armed security company. And that is what they call a nice, save and furnished house here. I had to get used to it, its my house. You are welcome.
