Dreaming big

Hallo!

According to Google Translate, Hallo is a word that means hello in Afrikaans. Yep, Afrikaans is one of the languages you can speak in South Africa, the country I’d love to visit.

I started to have interest in South Africa since a few months ago. Well, of course before this I knew about Nelson Mandela, the Apartheid and stuff, but now, I can see South Africa like a real country, I mean, closer to me (not in history books).

I discovered a band called Die Antwoord, because a friend recommended me to listen them. I fell in love with them (you must listen them too!) and I decided to investigate more and more. I finished watching a lot of movies about South Africa, reading about the countercultures in the country and listening all the South African music I could find. I couldn’t enjoy more that beautiful country, its culture and history.

Of course I’d like to visit it and even live there if there is a chance. First, I’d like to go on vacations, finally meet the streets of Cape Town and forget about all the prejudices about Africans countries. Then, I’d like to study there. I don’t know anything about South Africans universities, but I’d like to investigate it and become a student of South African history. My impossible dream is to live in South Africa and from there, travel to know the whole African continent.

That’s all folks! See you next class.
