Africa, the Second: Back to black! Twenty Ten

"You're not like me,

but that does not

that you are with me and I

watch as you sleep.

you are not yet awake longer, I asked

wars all night

and love me still,

what you do, if I geh now

And then I leave your city.

I look back and feel so heavy, because

has just begun

what you want and I do not too much.

I am the rain and you are the sea

I thought I could do it, let

but it does not work.

Hab's alittle bit exaggerated,

to love you,

but it does not work.

left no stone unturned to hate

up,

but it does not work.

can not. "

... sounds from my Ipod and then sometimes I run my seaside promenade, this time in drizzling rain, mixed with the salty sea air will stick to my skin. An incredibly liberating feeling, yes I am back in my beloved CAPE TOWN. I shoot a thousand thoughts through my head - it is time once again provide you with reading material!

now I'm sitting freshly showered, with a delicious Cafe Latte by Giovanni nestled in my newly purchased is king blanket (no idea who invented something, but it must just say AMAZING!) And tip my Lapi hot.

There is a lot has happened in the last 3 months, let's jump back!

14th February : The day of lovers. Unfortunately not for me, because I get the call early in the morning, my dad is in intensive care and it does not look good. Cardiac arrest and 12-15 minutes without oxygen ... brain dead? A shock! I immediately book a flight and sit on the very next day with flip flops and one carry-on luggage in the plane to Munich. There waiting for me cold, snow and a very emotional brother. We go immediately to Memmingen and like a miracle my Dad from the coma. After much anxiety and countless visits to the intensive care (as I hate hospitals but, the smell, this depressing feeling, but at least very nice staff: Thanks again to Hannes, the patient and nurses) is my dad is now in rehab and it is in the well amazing. From my planned furlough two weeks, two months, a time that our family has zusammengeschweist incredible. someone would have said before NEM half year, I had to move back home to cook every day and then with my mother share a double bed, I think I would have each shown the bird. "Mom, I must say we have mastered the great and sometimes I miss you here beside me in bed!" The reason for my "vacation" at home was not the prettiest, but the time the more intense. Stuttgart, Cologne, Berlin, Lake Constance, Munich, Germany - see all my friends and knowing you are in the world but NEVER from the world. A great time is behind me, with delicious breakfast, raclette dinner, sushi dinner, clubbing, Sunday noon to 12, Moonlight beer, champagne on the house roof, downhill skiing with my kids, cozy evening in Munich, Warangaschorle, beer at the Palace, Culinary in Switzerland and many more moments.
I must say: ♥ ♥ ♥ I mog Deitschland and my Fränds and Fämili the Bescht ♥ ♥ ♥

And the next "holiday" is already booked - Africa goes Snow 2010/2011. I'm looking forward to a Christmas market, mulled wine, bake cookies and a week skiing with my loved ones.

5th April 2010 : With mixed feelings, I hop on the plane to my adopted home of South Africa. What I expect is there now? For two months I have pushed my new and fresh structured life to stop, I have no fear, no more of a tingling sensation in my stomach, excitement, Joy and the longing to Cape Town.

6th April 2010: Arrive Cape Town. And once again, no return ticket and excess baggage en masse. "No, not the fat lady at the immigration counters grim, no, please not" I pray, and yes I am exactly the assigned. In the fight, let's face it! "Good afternoon Miss, how are you?" Always helps to be nice and smile maybe?! No, not THE. "So you coming arrre frrrrom Gerrrmany and wherrre do you go next?" Oh how much I've missed this rolling rrr, it sounds like butter in my ears and I think of my black sugar family that I soon or perhaps will not see again. FAMILY! Yes it is! I know so here is the Supreme Family and go "So how was your Easter Weekend, did you go camping with your family?" I look at them carefully, this time with a smile not so sure ... shocked and surprised looks at me ... "it was grrreat Ahhhwww sissi, we went to some hot sprrrings, you must go while you therrre arrre herrr" her eyes shine on me and the return flight was forgotten. Ve Well done!

Now get out there and wait even Nina, Jemaine and a cool Hunters Dry to me ... oh I am back home and it feels good! First of all my sushi you can eat, and then had to be the home Sydney Street Eleven girls. A big "Welcome Back" sign me laugh, lots of hugs, 1000 words, looks, and so ends the first week back at our star-terrace.

20th April 2010 : We write today. Now I'm just the last 2 weeks there, it has changed so much, but maybe I was a little bit. I notice the two months Dtld me a bit taken out of my pink world, a bit thoughtful, reality a vinous closer, but with all the more my life here again to attack! So let's get that thing started, I have my job back and I'm already busy in teaching (Thanks to Wendy!), am doing an exchange project with old students to organize by me (BIL guys, I'm looking forward to seeing you!), was in the stadium (wow, wow, to wow), have NEN hammer job with FIFA to Nina country have, of course, been extensively gebraait with my Brown Sugar, as well as Sydney and Family I married again to take the brush in his hand. Changes can sometimes lead to creative high points. Thanks again to Nina and Alex, who saved my life in my painting action, I Schussel was completely full of paint and I already saw in hospital. A little tip for you: salt, olive oil and soap, and since its free!

Now AFRICA BURNS waiting for me an artist festival in the middle of the Karoo desert. I am excited and will of course provide you soon with a new capital "VE goes Africa".

Finally a nice saying to me was on the way:

★ * HOME is not where you are born - it is where you are HAPPY ★ *
