Tuesday, 5.3.19

Today, I went back to the Masizame Hort. The wonderful thing here is that the same 20-25 children come every day and recognize you the next day. As I walked onto the grounds, they all came running and hugged me. Especially the little ones, five-year-olds, need a lot of closeness because they always feel a bit overshadowed by the older ones. I played various games with the children again. One boy wanted to play Domino with me the whole afternoon. Such a simple game, but they love it so much!
In the evening, I went to the Surf Cafe with MJ, whom I met last Friday in Zanzibar, and watched a documentary film by a man from Cape Town. He sailed along the entire west coast with a small sailboat and raised money for sick children. After that, we went to LM Restaurant with some other friends for a nightcap beer. It's really interesting to talk to the young locals and find out what it's like to grow up in this country.
Another funny story about my language understanding today... :-D
Alistair asked me today if I know what comedians are. I told him, of course, I know what that is! He then told me that these comedians are spread all over the garden and grow here. I was a bit confused, but I didn't dare to ask again :'-D.
In the evening, I asked MJ and Andrew. We figured out together that he probably meant "chameleons"! However, in English, these words sound almost exactly the same, in my opinion! So, in South Africa, there are no comedians growing in the garden, but chameleons.
