    Yes, it's been a while since I've blogged, but that's because I've been entirely off the grid for the past few days. No internet, no cell phone and it's been great! I'm back in South Africa again for the fourth time or is it fifth? Anyway, this time I'm here to show my parents the land I think is one of the most beautiful in the world and it seems they are enjoying it. We were on safari for three days in the Timbavale private game reserve, a one hour flight from Johannesburg. We had an amazing time checking out out the animals at literally an arms distance away. The photo above is a fresh lion print left in the sand. Our guide Eric and tracker Philip found tons of lions for us amongst many other animals which I'll post when I get back to HK. Check out how close we were to this lioness. The blue thing in the bottom right corner is my Mom's shoulder. I think she's covering her mouth so she doesn't scream.
    Now we're in Cape Town. It's my first time here and I must say it's really beautiful like everything else in this country. Kinda like San Francisco and Barcelona combined. This time I learned a bit more about aparteid which is obviously an ugly side to this great place but again I will blog more about that when I get back. Next stop Lisa will join us and we'll head out to her secret spot where we like "to get away from it all". If you've seen The Heavenly Kings, it shows up in one of the last scenes in the film and is actually where I wrote the scrīpt for the flick. Later!

    Yes apartheid was not the right thing...we're trying to still come to grips with the past...living with the guilt (I'm a white Afrikaans girl)....I was still a child at school - "brainwashed" that the communists were out to get us...can write a book about that  ...but things are changing - It will take a few generations to rectify....but we're working at it.!  I do believe the youth needs rolemodels...family structure...an fathers who are responsible....
    A link below just one way that is exciting to me...

    Hi Daniel, good to hear that you are having such fun over there... well, shall i say, over here =)

    i have been in SA for a long time now, glad to know you like Cape Town, and yes, those game farms are all amazing... sometimes not that easy to find lions though, you are lucky ^o^

    well, i'd just like to comment a bit on apartheid - yes, it's heavy and ugly, but i'm sorry and i dont feel sorry or sympathy for them anymore, it's been more than 10 years when democratic took place (black government), what they did, screwing up this beautiful country!!! they need to move on, and not hold on so tight on these hatred anymore... what do we have here now, crime, corruption, education problem, disorganisation, "load shedding", water problem, transportation, food, interest hike etc... the list is endless... instead of trying to improve the proverty, they talk more and more about past, hate... those just sound so wrong for me...

    well, really hope that you will climb on the table montain yourself - take a hike, bacause due to the load shedding issue, you might get stuck on the cable cart *o* Have fun =)
