I got a bubbly gun for the last Christmas.

This bubble gun is kinda cool to play, because it makes massive amount of bubbles continuously.

Oh, by the way, please don't think that I received the bubble gun from my parents. Come on, I'm 20! Hahaha.

Anyways, I was super excited to play this so I went out to backyard to blow some bubbles up to the sky.

There was this cat in the picture taking a nap when I opened the door to the backyard.

It absolutely caught the attention of the cat when I was making bubbles.

The cat kept trying to catch the bubbles. Trust me, that was really cute to watch.

Imagine.....

When the bubble comes near to the cat.... the cat tries to catch the uncatchable bubble. When the cat finally thinks that it got the bubble......DOINK?! IT IS GONE! hahaha.

Then the kitty's face is full of '????????' and then stares at me with the face of 'I really don't get it... Give me that god damn bubble to me NOWWWW.'

Well, that's my story of the picture. Hope you enjoyed it. :)

How does your world map look like?

My African friends were so surprised or rather shocked when they first saw my world map.

It is because, on my world map, Asia is at the middle of the map.

My friends were like 'Dude, I've never seen a world map like this before.'

I think it's kinda funny that there is a complicated relationship of power and politics even on a map. Thus, every continent considers themselves the centre of the world while the world is actually round - there is no centre or middle kinda thing, everything is equal on the round-shaped earth.

So how does your world map look like? What kind of the world are you living?

Only thought that Africa would be super god damn hot with the sweltering heat 365 days?

You might need to change that perception then :)

We do have winter in South Africa and it went down till -5 degree last winter in Johannesburg.

Thus, it is usually colder in Cape Town and the winter lasts longer than in Johannesburg.

So you should bring some thick warm clothes if you'd come during winter - June to August.

Looking for the fastest way to get into Sandton in Johannesburg?

Don't try hard to crack your brain for that any more.

Take this Gautrain!

Gautrain is able to connect you from the O.R.Tambo Airport to Sandton in 20 minutes.

It also brings you to other hot spots in Johannesburg like Marlboro, Rosebank and Rhodesfield and even to Pretoria and Hatfield.

Hello Kalk Bay!

P.s. It's already 33rd post! which mean it's been more than a month since I started this blog.

There has been 340 people in total visited the blog. Well, I believe I own half of the visits though. :P Anyways, I'd like to thank you whoever catching up with the blog. Also, I'd love to thank my friends who have been very supportive in various ways. I really appreciate your support. Lastly, I hope this blog would be something for you, readers. I would not expect people saying 'Oh my god. You've absolutely changed my perception on Africa!' right now. However, I indeed hope that you have seen something new that you never expected.

P.s.s. It would be so great if you say hello!

Don't just sneak in and go away guys ;)

Let's just say 'Hello'!

It'd be so awesome if you leave your opinions on daily post though. :P

One tip of travelling South Africa: You can get a chance to touch and play with baby lions in lion parks. :)

LP shop.

Missing playing old LPs?

Come visit this LP shop then!

They have massive number of LPs and even sell LP players.

It is also nice to chill here with all the great music although you ain't buying something.

This LP shop is located in Gardens, Cape Town.

I don't know the exact location, yet it's on the street that is facing Vida e Caffe.

'A country in reconstruction'

A picture of a newly built highway that connects two provinces Luanda, the capital of Angola and Bengo. Past more than two decades of civil war, the lenses of my camera can finally capture a new story about this marvellous country.

Old Town in Limpopo.

It seems like the time has been stopped for a few decades in this small town.

Everything is in pretty much old fashion.

This town would remind the olders of the past and catch interests of the youngers.

Handmade bags from Rosebank flea market.

Are you visiting Johannesburg?

You should pay a visit to Rosebank flea market then.

They have everything about Africa or rather South Africa.

In this flea market, you could experience South African culture.

I'm not just saying this just because they are selling something 'African' that could be your good souvenirs to bring back home, but also their culture.

You can meet something South African - biltong (dried meat), boerewors (South African traditional sausage), arts, music and people.

Hello Penguins!

Yes, the picture is taken in South Africa.

Yes, the animals that you're looking right now in the picture are penguins.

Only imagined penguins to be in Antarctica?

Nahhhh. We do have penguins in Africa as well.

Come to see these small little playful penguins in Simon's Town.

You can even swim with them!

Isn't that cool?

Oh, remember, you can see more penguins if you'd visit them around 5 p.m. when they are going back home from the beach. If you'd find them in the morning or afternoon, they would be busy getting tanned on the beach. ;)
