SOUTH AFRICA

Dear Diary

This is my fifth day in Cape Town. I am truly loving it here, but I think it is awful seeing the huge difference between rich and poor. I really see how lucky I am to come from such a wealthy country, and have parents with good jobs. Mum and dad are in business meetings all the time. I am not really lonely though, because they introduced me to a colleagues son, and he lives here. We have been down tanning at the beach, and swimming in the Indian Ocean! Yesterday we went sky-diving. It was the craziest experience I have ever done in my whole life. I am still blasted. The thing was, that i wasn't really prepared, he just asked me and he said yes, he even paid for it. Yes, he is extremely rich, that's the kind of people I have been hanging around with here. Money isn't really a problem.. If you wanna do something you do it, or you pay someone else to do it for you. One thing though that is incredaobly cool is theirdialect, it is very special, but I like it. I am understanding more and more after hanging around with Nelson ( yes, his parents are very found of Nelson Mandela). The money here is called rand, and I find it quite funny, because you have to use a lot of rand just to buy something small, and that is very different from Norway, when you can buy a packet of gum for like 10 kr. This time I am only here on a family vacation, but I know I wanna come back, and when I come back, I wanna see more of the other side of life here, the poor one, and to say it in a less nice way; the blacker side, sadly.
