black is beautiful

hey guys! molo oosisi, oobhuti! well, its been a month in cape town now and i figured i haven't yet written an entry to the blog. so its about time. things are going pretty smoothly i would say. i feel like i've lived here for long now and every day routines make settling in to new home easier. lot of emotions actually so where should i start from? for matthias, ida and marinka, who should be arriving in cape town within next week, take waterproof shoes and clothes with you! :) thats the most important thing, otherwise you can buy everything here, also nice cheap clothes, so no need to carry huge luggage. cape town is very modern, no doubt about that. so if you come here for 3 months and are eager to see "real" africa quickly, you will be disappointed. just to take it easy and slowly, find your way around. i've been very happy to join in the gym. i so believe that regular physical exercises help to balance your mind also. :) here its very cool, the trainers for every aerobics class are "original", meaning the yoga teacher is hindu, hip-hop teacher black guy, kickboxing teacher from japan etc. very cool and authentic! :) until now the most interesting things and days have been visiting antonella's creche (kindergarden) in the black township philippe, visiting cape town sos children's village, hiking in simon's town and around stellenbosch. :) its definitely hiking season now, weather is perfect for that!

our project though is going very slowly i must say. so not many exciting news from that front. it started up nicely but now we are pretty much waiting for some people to agree upon meetings so we could actually start doing something. lets see! well, warm greetings to everyone! :) see you!
