WORLD CUP IN CAPE TOWN

Many things are happening in Cape Town at the moment, and I have to admit that it feels quite cool to be here now when it’s in the world’s attention! hehe:) This first week of the world cup I’ve heard the sound of the ‘vuvuzelas’ from I wake up in the morning till I go to bed..
Bafana bafana (the name of the South-African team) are playing again tonight, as Norway is not even in the cup I’ve decided to cheer for them, the south-africans are so excited and proud for hosting this big event, so it would be so nice for them to win!!

I experience A LOT!! Mainly through my internship, many of the patients are, or used to be, gang members they keep telling me stories which I find difficult to grasp! Others do also have life-stories which to me just seems so unfortunate! It’s challenging to see and hear things that are going on in this world!!

The coming days Hillsongs is arranging a conference called ‘Encounter’ which I’m going to attend:) I’m very much looking forward to it!:)
It’s winter in Cape Town now, and I can feel it! It’s cold!!! I find it strange to see boots and big winter clothes in the shops in JUNE! It’s all kind of up-side-down.. hehe:)

WORLD CUP FEVER AT WORK

Now=when??

In Cape Town you should not take a ‘now’ for a ‘now’...
If a South-African tells you “I’ll see you now” that actually means that he’ll see you within the next minute or so.. However if he says “I’ll see you now now” that probably mean in 30 minutes or even hours… AND to make it more complicated if someone says “I’ll see you just now” that might be in a couple of hours, in the afternoon, or even the next day…

Oh, and have I told that the car I’m driving has one key to each door.. I’m not sure whether that says something about the quality of the car or the criminality rate in Cape Town…
