Well this was definitely a holiday I needed, relaxed and ready for action I’m on my way home. Where from you ask?
Well from Durban of course!
This truly was quite the holiday, from loosing all my money at a night club, to waking up o the other side of Durban compared to where I was staying, to a few too many drinks to some crazy work and even being a hair model for a competition at Rolf Offermans hair studio…
I’m not keen on going back home though because of the fact that Durban is my real home and also because I think I’ve found the woman I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. Sure I know what your thinking but in any case, la vita e bella right?
The things I’ll miss most of all about Durban will definatley be my mates and Nicole. The same thing that I have missed ever since I had to leave the heavenly place. Sure jozi is nice and all and I have a fantastic job with a brilliant team of individuals who are all very top gear when it comes to their work. But that will never be what I live to love. Everyone in jozi is money drivin and stereo typical, it’s like if you ever want friends you have to change yourself to fit in and then there’s the whole issue of picking what it is you want to fit in as. Jock, emo, skater, hippy, gay, straight, white, black Indian and coloured are but a few of the examples I can think off straight off the top of my head.
No, Durban is way more relaxed, people there are just people. Why just today I witnessed to white ladies in spur having quite a time with an Indian family whom they had never met before in their lives, you’de never see anybody that friendly inland… Durban has the friendliest people on the planet when it comes to traveling because the people there are just having a beautiful time with their lives! And no they’re not all on weed or drugs! They have everyday jobs like everybody else, they have families and friends and sure they have their groups aswell but it’s very very rare that you’d run into any trouble because you’re a punk rocker and not a hippy or visa versa..
Thunder road rock dinner on florida road is a great example of different people all coming together for a great time of live music and laughter whilst enjoying a few drinks and finger foods. All is fun whether your durbanite or jozi people, capetonian or from the UK.
One place I will never forget is Spiga D’oro. The most amazing Italian food in the whole world! From pizza to pasta to salad to lasange! It’s all mouth wateringly fabulous!
Ai, back to jozi it is, but I’ll be on my way back to Durban as soon as the opportunity comes. Hopefully next time will be for good!
On a closing note, would like to say thanks to mike the veg from simon sayz and my dear girlfriend Nicole for the amazing week ever. Hope to you soon, in the mean time though, “La vita e bella”
