ah man, you must have such problems with pronounciation over there!!
I dont believe we've both been on here a while and never figured out there was another!
I was born and bred in Kaapstad Slaapstad... actually i should just say Cape Town, my Afrikaans is miserable and i just sound stupid trying
but yeah, never lived anywhere else but spent a lot of school holidays travelling around on provincial squash tours... Bloemfontein...
Been in london for almost 4 years now - no longer homesick as such which is helped by the fact my whole family is also in Engalnd. I do take happy trips down memory lane occasionally and i do miss it terribly!
so you lived in Durbanville hey? my dad had a business in Durbanville for a few years and i had a part time job at TygerValley (sorry tygervallEI)!
this is so cool!
can i call you "bru?"
like hectic bru
Finally, I have someone who'll understand my SA references!
And yes, you may call me bru! No one's called me that for ages. JA BRUUUUU!
Ah, Kaapstad...how I miss you so.
99% of my extended family still live in Cape Town. It's only my mom, dad, sister and I who've branched out to foreign shores. And nothing compares to going down to the V&A Waterfront to make fun of the foreigners, or freezing your arse off in the sea at Blouberg, or going to the Wimpy in TygerValley for a burger... Speaking of which, man I miss TygerValley! Compared to the shopping centres we have here, TygerValley is like a haven. I'd give my right leg just to go to a bloody Woolworths!
How do you find the Pommies?
I might move to England, too, in a few years. Canada's nice and all, but it's just too bloody cold. And there's virtually no South Africans here either. There's a big SA population in London, isn't there?
Damn, just thinking of home got me longing for some wors and a pack of biltong.
