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.
