In Tired Of South Africa

How are you? i am so so. actually i am in sick of studying in south africa. my life in south africa is limited compared to my life in japan. for example, i cannot go outside easily because the public transportation is not so developed unlike japan. If i have a car here, i can go everywhere and enjoy south african life. however, i don't have a car, even driver license, so i always walk to the destinations mainly supermarket hahaha. or i can take a vehicle which is called minibus taxi. most of black south african use this transportation, and i also often used it, but i don't wanna take it as much as possible because i have to be squashed in the minibus taxi. it is very uncomfortable! at least 15 people ride on one minibus taxi. this car is as big as japanese wagon car. i think it is illegal in japan that 15 people are riding in a wagon car. that is why i hate minibus taxi. my life in south africa awares me that japan is extremely good and fabulous country! i am in tired of south africa and I miss japan!

Zimbabwe

Hello, guys! actually i went to zimbabwe, the country which is located on the north of south africa. most of south african people told me not to go to zimbabwe because it was extremely dangerous, but i really wanted to go to zimbabwe. zimbabwe is famous for big and beautiful waterfall called victria falls. though i went to zimbabwe, i was totally safe. additionally, people were very nice to me. i was very happy!

victria falls was amazing. it was very beautiful and misty... it was too misty to see anything in some spots. it means i was so wet. it was like after being caught in a shower. some places showed me very very beautiful scenery. there was rainbaw in front of the water fall. it looked like the world in dream.

Listen! i did bungee juumping there. can you believe that? it was soooo scary. the moment i booked the bungee jumping, i started to regret. however i did want to do something big, so i decided to do it. i had to wait 2 hours to do bungee jumping. i had been so nurvous during waiting time. there were the guides of bungee jumping. they looked after me for wearing safty belt or something. one of them was taking a video and he said to me, "do you wanna say something to your friends before jumping?" so i said, "see you in the heaven." finally, the guides started to count, "5 4 3 2 1 jump!" then i jumped without looking at under my feet. i was exposed to the air. it was like commiting the suiside by jumping from a tall building. i thought it was very nice, thrilling, and brave. after jumping i was confident to me. i can do everything. hahaha.

next time, if i have a chance, i wanna do sky diving, but my friend told me sky diving is less scary than bungee jumping.
