Hi Steven
Howzit little brother?! How is life in the UK?
Things are hotting up here, with regards to the soccer world cup.
There is a dance that they've been trying to teach us all, through countless adverts on TV. There has been much complaining about the fact that Shakira is singing the national song, as opposed to a SA music star. There has been much complaining about the state of the country, having had to endure months of roadwork's and construction everywhere.
A little bit of optimism that some of the big things, like Durban's newest white elephant, the Moses Mabhida Stadium, is actually READY!! Its the most stunning and beautiful building I've ever seen. Only slightly ironic that the old Kingspark stadium seems to be slouching about in the background, like a dodgy cousin at a family function.
But never mind.... the good news is that if you buy a Supersized Soccer Pizza at Debonairs, at R120.00, you get a FREE vuvazela!!! Argh! Or rather, that should be ....paaarpppp! Already the air over all of Glenwood is turning purple with the strangled cries of the vuvazela, and the alarmed hadedaas!
Its hilarious and funny, as well as a little tragic and pathetic, all at the same time. Nice to see everyone 'uniting' for the sake of the soccer, even if it is just to share a beer, a pizza and a vuvazela!
Pity you aren't here to experience it, but never fear, I will keep you updated with all the irony and weirdness that will be sure to unfold. And Dad will complain about stuff, and provide detailed reports on the state of
the roads, the economy, the noise pollution, the traffic, the bloody tourists, the lack of bloody tourists, and so on and so forth!!!
You will not miss out on a minute's action.
Just don't ask me to actually comment on the soccer games - I haven't a damn clue, darling!!
Take care,
Love your sister
