a new year is written

Stuggi goes Cape Town

Once again I sit at the window bar of the Ashanti, it sounds like Neo from the radio, Table Mountain is now in the sea of clouds and a light breeze. Actually felt quite pleasant for a change a little bit cold, well, a bit of exaggeration to the at 23 degrees.

it the last few weeks much has happened ... Christmas is over and a new year has begun. It's the year twenty ten - the year of the World Cup here in South Africa and after Mimi's words "the year of romance" ... well those are good prospects.

Now back to Christmas: my 2nd Christmas under the African sun, and this time a very special, because I have my 5 friends (Domi, Chrischi, Mimi, Alex and Susie) visits from Stuggi.

24th December: Big Family in the Sydney Street 11 was announced - we have 6, my new sister, a lonely Opi adoptive spontaneously from Belgium, two lonely souls from the Ashanti, my 2 neighbor riders Danes and my 2 roommates Anna and Emma. Very traditional Christmas songs were sung by our hard managed to get hold Christmas tree, eating cookies (thanks Omis and Dani), wine-drinking, Christmas Poppers opened and even gone into the night show. Well, quite honestly, we tried to go into the night show - to Mimi, and Alex Susi was ... almost fell asleep there on the long flight and lead to too much wine ;-) Giesen

: Wow Määs even Chocky

The next morning: 25 . December, the sun is shining and we have a wonderful day with great lunch and free champaign in Ahsanti enjoyed that we can comfortably finish the pool. Not so bad a South African Christmas, right?

Christmas in Ashanti

The days here with my 5 Stuggitanern love are gone too fast, but there were intense days in which has given everyone a glimpse into my life here. We have enjoyed every day to the fullest and have yet to experience adventurous things.

A small part of "Cape Town Stuggi goes"

trip to the Cape of Good Hope in "Susie the beetle and golf chico ... a beautiful drive along the sea on the Chapmen Peak, then blue ribbon with wishes on the tree nodes (just as shamans have done in Mongolia), can wander thoughts and enjoy the view. A wonderful day which ended with a small disaster, as did "Susie the beetle" are considering yet just to lose a bit of oil to another day to stay at the Cape. Well, since we were 6 now on the Cape without any gas station nearby and of course any extra oil can into your sleeve ... well, now what? The 6 friends did to help and we have just the golf chico times summarily converted and Alex put in the trunk. A cheerful way home with a stop in Kalk Bay in Cape of Cuba, "where there is the best Mojito and Mimi decided spontaneously added that there is going to take my wedding. Well then "tatta ta ta, ta ta tatta ..."

Susi is on vacation at the Cape of Good Hope

All stories to write now down here, that would take days and would I do for you to read and too hard - maybe some of you have the opportunity of personal testimonials about the dangerous African experience ... threats, I mean the wild, but good-looking lion in clubs and on the streets Cape Town's and of course, not to mention the countless ordinary fat cells in the fine wine and food which have tortuous so nasty to our hips, but I think it can live, what do you think?

"Stuggi goes Cape Town" and certainly not the last time :-) Thanks for the great days with you and you know yes, "You left Cape Town but it will never leave you again".

Now to the news of recent weeks: goes

Veri South African

After a long paper battle, I could finally apply for my WORKING PERMIT and allowed to work legally in 2 years and its aim is to "permanently residence to be ", ie South Africa I will not let go! No more problems with A / departure, stupid trip airline tickets or other visa issues. I have been really touched as everyone supported me in my plan - A very special thanks here to my Mom, to BIL at Iris, the RS Nellingen, Nicole and the seminary in Ludwigsburg. Thanks - Thank You Dankje!

Veri goes Car

Yes, hard to believe I am now the proud owner of a car. My first and so it had to be a special match ... so I have not had. And it has style! It is purple with white leather seats, pink gas pedals and a mega sound system and Of course, there is a Beetle (Dad please do not be angry with me, but it was love at first sight) -

"Lilli the beetle is born!

Lilli and I are of one heart and one soul and it keeps me pretty Trapp, get another little story.

Veri goes School

I have my job at the bar with a tear Ashanti terminated in mind, but at the same time with a smile as I turn "back to the old business" work as a teacher. I still have no permanent job but a job interview at the official operation Camps Bay Primary where a body as a teacher for the 5th Class is free. But that means pure challenge, since I teach all subjects in English should, therefore, not only math but also Social Science, Life Orientation, History and Biology (arrrgg, my favorite subject :-()

Na but I wanted so, so Cross your fingers is a must! send me some good Angel for next Tuesday.

now I'm back as a "private tutor" active and rich kids teach at home. What makes me especially fun is my new task as "personal study methods Coach ". I say bring the kids in the real learning and practicing different ways of learning with them - Course in English, so I'm just busy here all my methods to translate material.

Veri goes Coloured

I do not mean just my skin color, although I am a good girl I shun the sun and use sunscreen factor 50 (good girl !!!!), no I mean above all my heart. I've hit the jackpot and I were welcomed with open arms and hearts in a large family. Thanks to Jemaine! A family is not the only laughs a lot, talk and eat! but always and at any time is welcome. My 5 Stuggitanern have seen these colorful lively bunch at first hand and learned to love. An unforgettable Day in the lagoon, followed Pokje (a curry over the open fire) to Uncle Roland's farm. We played German songs on the guitar, "above the clouds tra ra ra ra that is that the well be limitless freedom" and were sung with a traditional farewell ritual spaliert out the door. Anyone know for which event they will be the next trellis times ;-)?

My family - United Colours of Africa

Uncle Roli and try the Veri MEAT

A small degree history: Lila and the TÜV (road worthy test)

Friday: Juhu

my first car and then immediately so ne porn truck ... full of euphoria and of course loud hip hop music, I am the streets of Cape Town's up and rode down .. . Ice Ice babe "what a feeling, though quite loud.

Sunday:

Veri in their pink world thinks, of course, nothing bad to since the first pink ticket stuck to the window of the Beetle. No, it's not a love letter, but a fat ticket than 800 Rand (80 Euro, a fortune here) was. Why that, I have parked a good girl? After further appraisal of the pink was wiping me everything clear, "Lilli" is not registered, that means I can not really go meter with it, now what?

Monday:

So off to the TÜV next day. I am very motivated by all the men, get tested along the lines of "women can too", from the ramp and car. After 10 minutes, but my stomach has increasingly drawn together because these evil men have taken almost TÜV my Lilli apart. You can not do, which is missing, since what must be done ... so much to "Veri goes Car" ... My dad shakes his head now probably "Veri how can you be so stupid to buy a Beetle '... na I, too, must however some pink in my world to learn. Well, not that we now have at the end of the story, would you still brings a cup of tea, sit back, now's First Assignment! to feel so out of the TÜV, no motivation or enthusiasm to complain more and first Jemaine my suffering. And there she sat the little Veri with his head and has cursed, I think we see them rarely. "If the public the evil men of the MOT and meticulous's is really not as if my broken Fensterkurbler has to do with MOT and road safety," Jemaine was quite patient and with an inner mischievous grin, and Veri must learn that not everything Pink is "VeRRREna listen, what if you get stopped by the police and they tell you to RRRoll down your window. You probably open your door because you cannot RRROll down your window. You know people got shot for that because the police herrr feels offended. "" Yes come on Jemaine, you are so over protective, this happens once in 5 years. "No insight was my turn to feel. So I have made myself to look for a mechanic to give me the Beetle under the hand and of course also repairs cheaper. The only problem with the whole thing, my car is still not registered need only just to the TÜV. Well how is this possible?? Officially, I can not go by car but somehow it must indeed come to the mechanic. The evil men at TÜV have told me I have 2 weeks to as long and can also legally use the car. Phew, at least this

Wednesday:

"Ice Ice Baby" sounds from my speakers, TÜV anger was forgotten, are leaving the pool my tracks. Ah, but it does well to begin with a morning sport. Full of energy in my swimming session back to the car - what is it! A police officer is just about a new pink mop stick to my Lilli. I parked it right ... oh no, it dawns on me already ... "your car is not registered tert lady". Not again R800! So I had the first police the whole story of the TÜV told and want to tell him that I would go so ... "no listen sissi, who told you that you cannot use this car as long as it is not registered". There were no negotiations or corrupt maneuvers. Frustrated and with tears in her eyes again, I sat at the bar with Jemaine, the poor, "Lilli and verification" - there's patience and an open ear announced. When they pick-me-after Camps Bay and then for good returns and I have promised myself I touch the car to the mechanic not to collect it.

Well what can come now, sorry, the story goes on.

without loud music I have on the direct road from Camps Bay to my Green Point made, a short distance ... not too short to reach again in Police Trouble.

Road Blockade! All cars were waved through, "Lilli" the purple Beetle, of course. "Please stop young lady - RRRoll down your windows please" "Shit," I do not now what was that, I have not made before 3 days lusitg about Jemaine. So I have left other choice than to open the door and hope that the officer does not feel attacked. "Young lady why do ou open your door, I told you to RRRoll down your window! Your car is not raod worthy, is that right? Can I see your drivers liscence, please ". My heart slipped into his pants, my stomach contracted and it bubbled the only way out of me: "No it is not raod worthy and it is not registered either and I have already two fines and my liscence is on my desk at home ... and now ... take my car and give me another fine ... this car is bad luck anyways! "The police officer looked at me with big eyes and saw the desperation in my face. "Young lady you are lucky today, you are a pretty girl, so go on" and he waved me through. "Pretty girl" well at least it has benefits but what the men think that sometimes with certain other body parts. Beetle arrived home was the key in the drawer out and only taken out again as the mechanic stood at the door.

Now I have a private mechanic (if anybody needs one ... good guy and cheap), I mean yes is now no longer unusual, others of announces personal coach, psychologist, marriage counselor or therapist.

Tomorrow is the big day, "Lilly goes TÜV" again ... and then I can register my baby at last, and hopefully our luck is nothing to prevent.

go in this direction and if they are not rusted, then it still today.

Welcome to Africa, welcome to the World RRReal VeRRRena!
