But first, let's get onto the ferry and visit UDO island whilst we are here.

Now this is what I'm talking about.

The Island of Jeju.

Tanning time.

I took this photo to show everyone the incredibly interesting rock pillars
formed from lava rock. There is a whole theory behind these pillars but each pillar
is in the shape of a pentagon or a hexagon. 

Yes I had to do a Free Willy pose.

Now this is how you should grab a woman to kiss her.

Last night celebrating a wonderful weekend on the
beach with fireworks.

After Picking up a nice tan and having a really great weekend with
these girls it was time to say goodbye to the island.

few animals and these males were very busy on the job today. 

Butterfly or angel- I'm flying

Busan Tower

Temple with flags from all over the world. I couldn't find South Africa though.

It was dream launch at school as par of celebrating their 60th birthday.
All the kids had to write their dreams on a balloon. Here is some of them in action.

The cake is made out of rice and the rice is coloured in different layers. At every celebration (birthday or opening function or any other celebration) there will be one of these big flower and ribbon displays. In picture 3 is a statue of the founder of the schools overlooking the playground outside. And we had lovely music played by our every own orchestra. 

This is me on my first bus ride to school. Super scary since
I had no idea where to get off.

This was on the TV in the bus. I took a picture to show
how flippen cold it was that time in the morning...
3ºC....Brrrrr

This is an idea of how my little crib looks. It's a studio apartment where everything is one. And I have a little closed off balcony. It's small but cosy with it's underfloor heating system necessary for winter.
1. My little passage way to the door. No shoes on wooden floor allowed...
2. My 2 in 1 bathroom shower
3. My bed and unpacked suitcases

My last wave goodbye before getting onto the plane and flying off to the unknown.

One last family picture before my departure. And once again I had no idea what was going
on behind me. I have a crazy family and a brother who gets freaked out by a hug from his dad. Obviously
everything will be turned into a joke with these two men in my life. Haha...

This is my active family on the water. My mom didn't join us but this was my Dad's first ski in about 5 years.
Bulshoek 2014 was a great holiday to end a year off and to kick start the new year with a bang.

A romantic night in a hotel is sometimes all you need to fall back in love.
Take those moments and make it a memory.
Cape Town - Century City - Crystal Towers Hotel

These are the friends that I will never be able to replace.
Even if I don't see them everyday I know they are there and I will carry them in my heart always.
Clanwilliam - Bulshoek 2014 

The summer months of perfect weather, water like mirrors, sun kissed skin and the freedom to be wild.
I'm going to miss this act of free will but will definitely find something to replace it for time being.
Bulshoek 2014 - My Home

This is me.
