…some odd facts about our life in SA
…we included pictures again
…rare feitjes over ons leven in ZA
…de Nederlandse tekst onderaan staat :-)
…we er ook weer foto's bij hebben gezet <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…we are not allowed to feed the monkeys at varsity…
…the black and white mosquitoes are very evil
…the white frog lives in our plant for over a month now
…his name is “kikkerjan”
…these frogs don’t kwaak
…they make a weird click sound
…South Africa’s government hasn’t paid for its coals
…due to that we have a two hour power cut each day 
…there is actually a schedule for load shedding
…this schedule runs until the end of this year
…during a power cut classes are cancelled and traffic lights fail
…this causes chaos in the streets of PE
…a dish wash-brush costs 20 rand
…this is almost 2 euros!
…Tim has emptied 7 pens already
…that is 1\/2 pen a week!
…the laundry service uses cold water only
…this leaves quite a few stains in our clothes
…converting 7 kilos of dirty clothes into clean clothes costs only 29 rand
…so we take the stains for granted
…we like to drink coffee and eat ghostpops at the Geos office
…this is not good for the progress of Dewald’s, Claire’s and Wernich’s masters projects
…the rooster of our neighbours wakes us early in the morning
…sometimes by accident also in the afternoon
…the wacky tail prefers cheese to apple
…the baby gecko sleeps in Tims backpack
…Tanja did her first test
…she did very well
…Tim gave up counting his tests
…he still does very well
…baby lions like skirts
…Tanja noticed that by means of scratches on her leg
…we played "Kolonisten van Catan" with Dewald and Wernich
…Tanja won! (orange) <\/p>\n

Wist je dat…<\/p>\n

…het verboden is om de aapjes bij de universiteit voeren
… de zwart witte muggen heel gemeen zijn
… de witte kikker in onze plant al meer dan een maand bij ons woont
…hij kikkerjan heet
…deze kikkers niet kwaken maar een vreemd klik geluid maken
…de Zuid Afrikaanse regering heeft niet betaald voor de kolen
…daardoor zitten we iedere dag 2,5 uur zonder stroom
…ze hebben hier zelfs een heus schema voor
…het schema is al gepland tot het einde van het jaar
…tijdens zo’n powercut is er geen les en staan de stoplichten uit
…dit veroorzaakt nogal een chaos op de weg en veel accidenten
…een afwasborstel kost hier 20 rand
…dat is bijna 2 euro!
…Tim heeft al 7 pennen versleten
…dat is gemiddeld 1\/2 pen per week
…de wasserette wast alleen met koud water
…als gevolg daarvan hebben onze kleren een aantal permanente vlekken
…7 kilo was kost maar 29 rand, gewassen, gedroogd, gestreken en opgevouwd
…dus de vlekken nemen we voor lief
…we ervan houden om koffie te drinken en ghostpops te eten in Dewalds kantoor
…dit niet goed is voor de voortgang van Dewalds, Claire’s en Wernich’s masters project
…de haan van de buren ons elke ochtend vroeg wakker kraait
…dit ook soms 'smiddags gebeurt
…de wacky tail (soort kwikstaartje) liever kaas dan appel eet
…de baby gecko in Tims tas slaapt
…Tanja haar eerste test heeft gehad
…het heel goed ging
…Tim zn testen inmiddels niet meer kan tellen
…het nog steeds goed gaat
…baby leeuwtjes van rokjes houden
…Tanja dat gemerkt heeft aan krasjes op haar benen
…we Kolonisten van Catan hebben geintroduceerd!
…Tanja heeft gewonnen! (oranje)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
