“Mooi loop”, reken Willie. Hy is ‘n interresante man. Die wie ons en hom ken, weet dat ons lofliedere sing oor Willie. Ons het op hom afgekom een Saterdag middag, toe ek my dolphin shape 3-reeks BMW op ‘n duin gaan parkeer het naby Yzerfontein. Lang storie, maar dit was die uiteinde van ‘n samekoms van [...]

Onlangs weer lees ek een van my vriend Johan Bakkes se vele reis skrywes, en reg aan die begin maak hy weer half-skaam verskoning vir die feit dat hy gelukkig is. Snaaks, toe ek dit lees kon ek sy geluk aanvoel en weet waaroor hy so ‘n heuglike uitkyk oor die lewe het, maar nou [...]

Ek:”Liefieeeeee!!!“ Liefie:”Ja?“ “Daar is ‘n gogga in my pap”. “Nou haal hom uit” “Ok”. . . . “Liefieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” “Wat is dit?“ “Daar is weer ‘n gogga in my pap. Wag, daar is nog 2 in my pap” “Nou haal die goed uit, ek is besig met my eie gogga probleem“ . . . “LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!” “My goeie donner, kan jy nie sien ons word aangeval nie! Gooi weg die pap, laat ons [...]

Hoe meer ek probeer uitvind oor wie presies hierdie mistieke man is, hoe meer lyk dit vir my asof hy NIE Valiant se Mystic Boer is nie. Die storie loop dat hy ‘n Boer (nie ‘n boer nie) is, wat vir volk (die uitverkore wit volk hier onder aan die gatkant van Afrika) en vaderland [...]

Right. Oë oop. Knip. Knip. Vryf oë. Kyk rond. Eldre. Check. Trouring. Check. Geen babbelaas. Check. Kussings. Check. Geen idee waar ek is nie. Check. Dis ‘n bekende gevoel uit my wyn drinkende, nie-studerende jeug. Kyk verder. Donker. So ‘n groen donker. Iets waai in die wind, so sylerig. Dis warmerig. Klein area. O MOER! Ons is in Namibië; op ons vakansie wat so amper nie gebeur het [...]

So our social lives came to an abrupt end by the introduction of a thing called a “deadline”, so last night we got take away pizzas form this place Ty took me 2 or 3 nights ago. Sorry, all days are a blur at this stage. Anyway, these pizzas might not be healthy, but they are [...]

While writing this blog entry, I decided to have a glass of wine. Ty suggested I try this bottle, and I have to say: Cheers Ty! Awesome suggestion.

We have been absolutely focused on getting our work done. Ty and I have been sleeping less and less, and working more and more. I am not complaining though, we have been doing a lot of work, and everyone has been 100% focused on getting stuff done. Anyway, done with the boring stuff, let’s talk about [...]

Going through the photos before I go to bed, I thought it apt to make a few comments: Traffic in Sao Paulo is so bad, that all big companies offer helicopter transport for their top directors. Look at http://picasaweb.google.com/rohan.strydom/TaxiTripFirstDayToWork/photo?authkey=3tbuLdAcybg#5176172145888714786; you can see the heli pad on the top of the Brazilian Football fereration building.

So yesterday was my first day at work, and I obviously had no idea where to go to. Fortunately, Filipo and Ty wrote down the address for me, so I was quite confident that I would get to work, despite a deep routed fear that I will get ripped off. Jacques and Leon suggested that [...]
