Arriving in Cape Town - V&A Waterfront
Well, I didn’t even get much sleep in the train. You can imagine my actual fitness level….;-p….But, however, the curiosity of meeting new people and enjoying today’s sun in Cape...

After a full and busy day, which actually started with work, we’ve (-> André and I) started our journey from Dresden City to Frankfurt Airport. We’ve never been there before, but let’s see where our journey will take us. Actually, nothing strange happened – no traffic chaos, no strange encounters with others, no significant losses… mainly, well, at least the worst thing that happened today was my encounter with a toilet (-> if IT deserves that name) at a park that completely malfunctioned and screamed, 'better leave than do your job here.' Anyway, after a 7-hour ride, we reached Frankfurt Airport and quickly made our way to check in our luggage. I barely but swiftly said “goodbye” to my friend, passed through security, and here I am: sitting at a table, enjoying my wonderful cappuccino. The perfect place to curiously observe my surroundings or let my thoughts wander about the adventure that awaits me in Cape Town.
So many questions, but just an imaginary labyrinth of hopes, dreams, and possibilities that will offer and provide opportunities and hopefully proper answers:
Where will my journey lead me?
What kind of people will I meet?
How will this trip change my perspective as an English teacher?
How does African English sound?
….still curious, waiting to see the real me breaking out of a box that has shaped my daily routine for the last month and a few days.
Freely flying like a free bird with wings larger than mine, across clouds and borders, and finally reaching the sun. :)
