Fancy Africa

My first destination on this world trip is South Africa. It’s amazing, I never thought about coming here so young. OK, I’m lying. I was thinking about coming in 2010, at the World Cup. In fact it was more a dream that a thought. We just got here, so I’m going to tell you about my first impressions. At the South African’s airline I was already starting to love the country. People were nice and lovely, and like Kareem said at the airport: “There are a lot of Akonas here”. Of course it’s a joke, each person is unique. But there are so many black elegant women, bold and with big earrings and necklaces. Akona really represents a good African Style. Two Chinese tourists even knocked on our door (we are sharing rooms) to ask her if they could take one photo with her! Funny… And like the people, buildings in Cape Town are elegant. Every building seems new and clean. On the first day, after getting to the hotel and taking a shower, we went to “Victoria and Alfred Waterfront”. It’s like a marina around the sea with boats with lots of restaurants and a shopping mall – a really fancy place. When we were walking and searching for a restaurant, we were lucky to see some singers in line, singing African songs. It was amazing, made me think that now I can prove for real if a place is just how the movies and the television shows! This is culture, now I can have a trusted opinion about a country. Africa isn’t poor at all. In fact, Cape Town is one of the most fancy places that I have been. Besides that, Africans are rich… with joy!
