Short Note

Hello,

I sincerely apologise for not keeping my promises to upload pictures everyday.
Apparently, uploading pictures everyday is not so easy job especially when everything in life is all messed up.

I am sorry..

What do you think the thing hung on the clothing rack

I thought it was............... :/
Well, let me tell you the whole story about that.
I wondered "Wow. Who would want to dry seaweed like that?"
My friend then said, "Oh, yea. Why does the person want to do that?"

There we were wondering why one would like to dry seaweed on a clothing rack while the sea is far away from the city.

My friend then suddenly broke the silence and said with a surprise, "Oh, no! That is not seaweed!!!!"
"It is wig!"

That's right, it was a wig! Well, pieces of wig.

Absolutely no offence to anyone.
It was just a huge cultural shock for us, indeed. :)

Have you been on a trip with only mother or father?
Just two of you?
As we grow we would spend less time with parents.
Why not have a dinner with your parents instead of friends? :)

"God’s Window is a popular vantage point along the Drakensberg escarpment in Mpumalanga, South Africa. It is situated at the southern extremity of the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve." from Wikipedia.

So there we, a group of friends were sitting in front of the God's Window.
We were then thinking, 'Yes, it is indeed the God's window. The view from here is just so amazing and peaceful. Thus, it definitely refreshes mind. God would probably be looking at us from the heaven like this.'

Meet Professor Robert Broom who discovered a series of spectacular finds, including fragments from six hominids in Sterkfontein, which they named Plesianthropus transvaalensis, popularly called Mrs. Ples, but which was later classfied as an adult Australopithecus africanus.

There is a rumor about the Prof. Robert Broom statue in the cradle of humankind in Geuteng that if one touches his nose, the one would get fame and if one touches his hands, the one would get wisdom.
If one touches both, nose and hands, however, the one will be cursed.
So don't be greedy and pray for only one! Hahah.

So there we were painting a kindergarten.
And the curious kids loitering around us to see what we were doing.
We then started painting some decorations like butterflies, flowers and dots on their faces.
Ah. I wish I had the pictures of that.
They were following all of us, calling 'teacher teacher' in order to get more paintings.
Ah. Cuties! :)

In love with vintage clothes?
Let's jump into Long street for vintage shopping then.
At one part of Long street, there is an awesome crowded place with people selling vintage stuff and also people hunting vintage stuff.
You can literally find any kind of vintage stuff like clothes, accessories, shoes, belts, sunglasses and more.
It also gives you sort of excitement when you are finding a really gorgeous clothes from the massive clothes dump.

I was looking through a friend's pictures in Cape Town and that just reminds me how beautiful South Africa is and how much I miss you, South Africa.

One of the things that I love about South Africa - Trees.
I like how trees are planted or looking in South Africa.
Only a few trees are planted at intervals on the mountain or a hill and that looks really cute.
Even the shapes of trees are all different and unique.
If i'm not mistaken, all the trees are all man-planted.
Well, that is what I have heard.
Is it true?

So once upon a time, there was a period called Apatheid in South Africa when people were treated differently based on their race, or rather colour.
Un old chair written with 'Non-Whites Only' at the back of busy Long street in Cape Town just remained me of those days that we probably forgot now.
It was shocking to me since I have never seen these kind of stuff in the real world outside of museums or books. There was another chair written with 'Whites Only' right next to the 'Non-Whites Only'. So.. when I saw the chairs placed right next to each other maybe only 1m away, I felt so... weird and hazy. It would be mainly because I had never expected to see them in the real life. It was actually just around corner from where I always walk around.
A piece of history living in a hectic modern days.
I found it interesting.
How about you?
