I can never think of what to say when introducing myself and so hate it, which makes me all the more thankful for Gus’ kind, but wildly inaccurate, introduction. So without further ado.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Leaving places is always strange. When you’ve been somewhere for a little while, long enough to consider it some kind of home, and the time comes for you to move on it is an odd sensation. In this day and age it’s easier than ever to move about, and if you ever want to it is generally quite easy to return to a place. Odds are that you probably will, to see old friends, family, to reminisce. These are not the old days where you would leave to make a new life in a new land and never see your home shores again. There is not that level of finality in leaving a place, which, perhaps, in some ways makes things harder. But there is an undeniable emotional impact in those symbolic last moments you spend as a resident living in that place. There is a sense of severance.
In your day to day life you may walk past places that you feel no attachment to at all. The daily route you take to work or town or school seems meaningless. But day after day you will take that same route and pass those same things and they will become indelibly etched on your mind. And you will walk past them thinking all manner of thoughts and feeling all manner of feelings and so, much as your environment becomes etched into your mind, you will impose those thoughts and feelings on your environment. Your surroundings will become inextricably associated with them so when it comes time to leave and you take one last look around you will realise that your very experiences are physically rooted in that place. A building is just a mixture of stone, steel, wood and glass. But we imbue personalities on these things, narratives and histories, not just of our own personal experiences but also of their past. You may feel hostility for a place, love, nostalgia, but the place itself is not responsible for them, we impose a narrative on it much as, I suppose, we impose narratives on ourselves. Often we do not realise how much we have invested in these physical locations until it is time to leave.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
I had occasion to think about on my last day in Newcastle, the city where I’ve spent the last three years as a student. It was that special and very rarely seen time of around five in the morning, just before the workaholics and early bird morning commuters are up but late enough that the majority of the screaming, underdressed drunkards have finally scraped themselves off the streets (although I did still see three or four young ladies in sparkly dresses and heels slumped on street corners). It was quiet, quieter than cities normally ever are, but for the occasional passing car and the distant street-sweepers. But despite the earliness it was bright, the early summer sun lighting up the still sleeping houses. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Seeing the city like this, devoid of its usual noise, loud students and crowds of people, allowed me to see it in a new way, as a thing standing on its own. I found an attachment I didn’t know was there. To the physical place. To the majestic buildings, old-fashioned and new. To the trees, the pond and the beautiful green grass in the little parklet between the Civic Centre and one of the old churches, where I’d sat many times in the sun. To the World War One war memorial, a tableau of the men going off to war, which I’d passed hundreds of times with barely a glance before one of my lecturers made us go look at it in detail. Even to the quiet roads themselves.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I went and sat on a bench, in one of those carefully maintained “outdoor spaces” (for want of a better name) between two buildings, that a lot of Universities seem to feature these days. I’d never been there before. I’d been down the roads to either side many a time, even looked across the space between them, but I’d never really seen what lay there. I’d never really taken it in. Perhaps this is a particular curse of our day and age, though I think in some form it probably goes all the way back to the beginning. We are so busy rushing from one place to another that we never take in what lies between. We are so fixated on getting from A to B that we don’t realise that any point in between could be someone else’s destination, their A or B, and really has just as much value as any of our destinations. But I digress. This little island of tranquillity gave me a new perspective. I’d had my share of bad and good experiences in Newcastle but sitting there made me think of the transience of it all. In everyday life you normally follow some kind of routine; there is some kind of consistency. From one day to the next little seems to change. But that pause you take, just before you leave, makes you look back and realise just how different you really are, for better or for worse, from when you arrived. And however well you know a place you will never have experienced even a fraction of what it has to offer. Who knows where you would have ended up if you’d just once taken a turn down a side street, gone into a different shop or bar, struck up a conversation with a different person? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Maybe this is not the case for everyone. I know there are some who never leave their home village and they may very well find other opportunities to consider the same thing, or similar, at different times. But I’ve left a lot of places in my time and this feeling of loss, transience, has ironically come with me everywhere I’ve left. I’ve also somehow become uniformly terrible at hellos and goodbyes. I always remember that the last thing I said to Gus before leaving Norway was “maybe I’ll see you tomorrow.” The next time I saw him must’ve been about a year later. In practical terms going back somewhere is easy. You can find ways even if you are damn near broke. But for all you may return to visit a place, however much you enjoy it, however much you reminisce, you will never be able to catch more than echoes of your past belonging.</span>MotherGooseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10982904056503897399noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313859921857883243.post-14803135362540682592013-08-04T10:25:00.000-07:002013-08-04T10:25:14.643-07:00Fridge Magnet Poetry Sessions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Earlier this year<br />
It was Summer (March) and we congregated in Kirstin, Josh and Malan's flat at Lar Shei and got well acquainted with some red wine. This turned into an eventful evening, a heated 30 seconds game became the centre of attention in the somewhat over crowded lounge on that fateful Friday evening.<br />
<br />
As some moved into the kitchen, a little surge of creative energy sparked a fridge magnet revolution. To clear things out, Kirstin had bought a set of frigde magnets, each with its own word on it. Looky here is a picture if you still don't quite get what I mean:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02GyrZwDa2G0REFJ8tPbmcPggRQiQDTn_VjjM4zZNzuSZLtaM7hl-lwVbwc2r38ERAX8SIxw4nfFYdbq2jU1ML0_X167SOJFlB59wLtqPtMd5flwSgiIZXTMfhn6cevj3V5Bf8pw5b1zB/s1600/fridge+magnets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02GyrZwDa2G0REFJ8tPbmcPggRQiQDTn_VjjM4zZNzuSZLtaM7hl-lwVbwc2r38ERAX8SIxw4nfFYdbq2jU1ML0_X167SOJFlB59wLtqPtMd5flwSgiIZXTMfhn6cevj3V5Bf8pw5b1zB/s320/fridge+magnets.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Anyway, so as my friends were crowding around the fridge, arranging and rearranging magnets to form silly yet somewhat profound sentences of poetic genuis, I crouched behind and started to copy down the magic on a crumpled piece of folio paper, awe-struck by what was appearing on this once inconspicuous tabula rasa before me.<br />
<br />
This is what I noted down:<br />
<br />
"what if these years are your good colour<br />
above all talk,<br />
whisper,<br />
know your mind<br />
almost born after the moon<br />
.....<br />
dance and ask for no secret <br />
fragile white bay blowing real and crying out<br />
on to twilight<br />
....<br />
still with every sigh some soft voice under the sea<br />
why turn and give? go get the times living<br />
being a ripple away from blue." <br />
<br />
- Authors unknown and intoxicated<br />
<br />
Anyway, now you know what 'Magnet Poetry' is if it should ever pop up in casual conversation.<br />
Here however, I present to you my all time favourite poem by Bob Dylan called, "Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie" - it's especially poignant when you've got a bad case of the Sunday evening blues<br />
<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0OdNY8Aybw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0OdNY8Aybw</a> (please hide your youtube screen because some asshole made a very bad fan video for this holy poetry reading)<br />
<br />
also: today I realised that if I were to become a semi-professional villiam, this would be my theme song:<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRewkpWZTzA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRewkpWZTzA</a><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I start with this picture for its portrayal of our
friendship – not only in that it’s undeniably adorable, but because it captures
an aspect of our relationship which is rather peculiar; we’re on the way to the
train station. In the ca. ten years of our friendship, nine of them have been
spent living in a different country from each other. Our meetings always end
with one of us escorting the other to the train station or airport before
spending another half year or so apart until we are fated to see each other
again. It’s hard to characterize a friendship with so little actual
interaction, and I will surely fail if attempt to, but I'm going to try to anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We made friends at the age of 11 or so (no photographic evidence
remains of this strange and distant time) in my aforementioned oil baron &
co. international school in Oslo, before Adam moved to that hot pile of smog
that is Milan (forgive my unrelenting bias against that city, it’s all Adam’s
fault!). Looking back on the years that followed this development, I went to
visit Adam a surprising amount considering our relatively short
prior friendship (other friends of mine moved and were forgotten – such is the
life of the international school kid). Over the years, our friendship grew into some
semblance of a brotherhood, forged between awkward individuals of an age where
we realised that people did not function in the ways we might have understood
or joined along in – whether this separation from the rest was perceived or
real, I do not know, but our shared feelings of social discomfort blanketed us
in a paradoxically soothing, and warming way. Out of this I think our
friendship grew, always, because even when things were unshakeably ‘off,’ Adam
was in Milan, and things were ‘off’ for him too, and if that is so then it is
not we that are ‘off,’ but everything else, because we could share it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

"Slow-cruising on one of the most notorious dirt roads in all
the country, the 113 kilometre stretch on the R355 between Touws Rivier and
Calvinia starts to feel like a pilgrimage as the sun turns red; the distant
hills stretch out far beyond the horizon and the dust permeates every inch of
our surroundings. This is that rubicon moment when one starts to realise that
the next couple of days will be spent free from any dependence on creature
comforts or normative societal structures as the Karoo landscape steadily eases
out any obsessive thoughts or anxieties and prepares the mind in a two-fold
outlook of survival mode and child-like exhilaration. Eventually the engine
rests and we wait to enter one of the most unorthodox creative communal living
experiences we had yet to encounter." </div>

So for you non-South African readers, I'm going to tell you a bit about a trip (pun intended) a couple of mad one's and I took to a little big gathering called 'AfrikaBurn' in the middle of 'nothing', 'nowhere' and 'even less', i.e. the dreamscape region known as the Tankwa Karoo. (For those of you who are native to this amazing country, this post should inspire you to attend the 2014 Burn - cosh ish laaik amashing)</div>

This six day festival is best described on the official website as follows, "AfrikaBurn is the spectacular result of the creative expression
of participants who gather once a year in the Tankwa Karoo to create a
temporary city of art, theme camps, costume, music and performance"...and not to mention the mutant vehicle that cruise around TankwaTown. So maybe some of you might know about the annual 'Burning Man Festival' held in the Nevada desert outside Las Vegas? Here is a video to demostrate what it looks like there</div>

Well AfrikaBurn is a regional offshoot of Burning Man and started up in 2007, and has since then, fast become one of South Africa's leading alternative arts and communal living events. Its really not a simple trance party and 'drug fest', like some people (who have evidently never been) come to believe. There is a lot of live music happening, but other than some of the more 'commercial' festivals, AfrikaBurn is a space where social hierarchies don't exist, there is no distinction made between 'spectator' or 'participant'. There are no celebrity DJs or artists who come to perform under a name, there is no branding, no money, nothing profitable and everything is completely self-made in the name of all things temporary. Even most of the artworks and sculptures made for the event get burned on the last couple of days in accordance with the AB slogan, "Leave No Trace"</div>

The theme of the 2013 Burn was ‘Archetypes’, which references the
celebration of ancient myths and legends which have come to shape our way of
living, doing, classifying and interacting since the dawn of time. In relation to the actual location of the event, the theme ties in (quite perfectly) with humbling experience of engaging
with this most austere and sublime environment. HAH and as one Burner remarked, “It is out and out the best thing to hit the Tankwa since the
dinosaurs.” seriously</div>

So, really not to sound like some pretentious bastard (although I am studying continental philosophy) one could really tie the guiding principles of this event to the 20th century Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin's notion of the 'carnivalesque'. He writes about the tradition and rituals of local carnivals held in town squares in Medieval Europe and opens his text titled, "Carnival and Carnivalesque" by noting that the carnival
is not a performance, and does not differentiate the spectator from the
performer. All people who take part in the carnival "live it" but it is
not an extension of the "real world" or "real life" but rather, as
Bakhtin puts it, "the world standing on its head", the world upside
down. The carnival for Bakhtin is an event in which all rules,
inhibitions, restrictions and regulations which determine the course of
everyday life are suspended, and especially all form of hierarchy in
society.</div>

He writes about the performative aspect of Carnival life and how it came to influence the plebs of the time, and I just completely fell for his theories and decided that AfrikaBurn is a modern day version of the 'carnivalesque', a means to escape the mundane routines and normative behavioural codes of social life and to experience an alternative reality, a completely new way of interacting with strangers and friends. And suprisingly enough, I came returned from AfrikaBurn not hating society and wanting to go Alexander Supertramping...</div>

But instead I got a really good, new perspective on how to approach what we see to be the banal habits and conventions of our middle-class existence. Although I must admit, it's a quite a bourgeois luxury to even be able to take the time off, have the money and all the equipment (car, food, tent, sleepbag, etc) to make the trek for a six day 'break' from a life that really isn't even comparable to most of the world's suffering, but it really take a lot to go for this experience. The money, the planning, the packing, the driving, setting up...it's not as breezy as one might think and it always bugs me when people say, "Oh but you're so so lucky to have gone...[on vacation to Mozambique, a student exchange to Amsterdam, AfrikaBurn]" but what some don't get is the fact that it takes more time to do the admin before such an excursion than the time spent on the excursion. And if one really wants to, one can always go...time can always be made and if not, then next year there is something to look forward to. Anyway, I'm going off on a tangent here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So, each year
‘Burners’ gather in the heart of the beautiful yet vastly arid Tankwa Karoo to
create a temporary city, aptly named ‘Tankwa Town’<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=313859921857883243" name="_GoBack"></a>, as
means to provide and allow for an alternative approach to social interaction
and communal effort. Here are the guiding principles of AfrikaBurn: communal effort, civic responsibilty, immediacy, gifting, leave no trace, radical self-reliance,
radical self-expression, participation and decommodification. Oh just to contextualise the notions of 'gifting', 'decommodification', 'participation' and 'communal effort', AfrikaBurn is a space which is wholly dependent on the effort and sincere enthusiasm of the
artists, performers, theme campers, ‘Burners’, children, eccentric ‘Ooms and
Tannies’, nudist flash mobs and every other member who contributes to the
alchemy of the event.You as a (temporary) local of TankwaTown are expected to take part, to join in and to provide for those around you.It's quite incredible what people get up to and how groups construct entire 'theme camps' to entertain and include you as a fellow citizen of the community. An all time favourite was aptly named, 'The Seven Deadly Gins’ camp where the procedure went as follows. You were made to queue to enter a 'confessional booth' and once inside, you are required to confess a sin to a 'pseudo-priest' who continues to reward
you with a gin drink for the declaration of your personal misdemeanour. Needless to say, by the end of the festival, the Karangas were completely guilt-free and ginned up sundrunk, heh.<br />
<br />
Oh ja, before I forget...Karanga. I guess I need to clear that one up. So 'Karanga' was the name of our group, each member being a 'Karanga', plural (all of us in unison) - 'Karangas', but the title was also used as a kind of a war cry or mating call depending on the circumstances and series of events which would come to follow. This cry came in handy at most during our flash mob night time endeavours, but I won't go into any details there (aha)</div>

Despite
the carnivalesque atmosphere, one gains a sense of enormous well-being as this
event offers an opportunity to occupy and function in a space of infinite
possibility, free from judgements, restrictions or transcendental reason, where
Kerouac’s words sound a prophecy as we acceded to, “Burn, burn, burn like
fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So wherever you may be, try find the nearest regional Burning Man event and make the effort to attend. You will not regret this experience, I can almost guarantee...Even if you do get an eye-infection and have to walk around with severe vertigo (due to the fact that you have to now wear a pirate patch 24/7) for the duration of the festival...its really so worth it. and the medical facilities are the bomb-diggidy. believe me, I would know (I feel you Malcolm) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNa8QyAl2YE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNa8QyAl2YE</a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Listlessly seated, awaiting the midsummers witching hour,
while the crickets chants and my refrigerator<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>drones on into the dead of night. Melancholic insomnia. The final
unwinding of nearly a 3 month summer vacation has been set in motion and the
mere thought of this precious liberated time concluding has made my body endure
the hottest and longest of days and nights in a hurried angst to develop every
second of potential that this time has to offer. Yet in actual fact, it is not
as if summer itself is coming to an upbrupt end, no, February in the Western Cape
generates fatal heat strokes on those over exposed deadbeat days. This
mini-existential crisis of mine is nothing new or anything to write home (or a
blogpost for that matter) about and I was really hoping this is simply some
juvenile fear of limitation that haunted my childhood. But my yellow isn’t so
mellow. I still have that slight gut reaction as I did when I saw my mother
ironing my school shirt the night before a new term or year commences. It’s not
a fear of academics or working, the studying itself isn’t that ill natured, but
the consequences of being tied down by work or by people are brutal on those
perfectly wind still, smothering days when the thought of a calm blue ocean
seems none other than cruel. Forced to frequent the library when every inch of
the outside world is illuminated and all you want is your ice cream cold and a
light nap on the lawn. But as a true advocate of all things blue, I must admit
to my firm belief in the power of slight anxiety and very slight woe in order
to really get your mental and emotional states prepared for a colossal intake
of orders, information and an output of production. At my happiest I’ve found
myself to have the least amount of concern for creation as well as consumption,
whether it be reading, writing, drawing, or engaging with any other means of production. But then again, who wants to be deliriously happy all the time,
don’t you find those people to be horribly annoying? I reckon it’s also good to
give your brain a good solid gold rest in order to have a clean motor running.
One should just gingerly settle on the idea of working out how to structure
your work efforts in order to have a satisfactory time off. </div>

I sound like counsellor. FML. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Now this is what happens when you come home early to sleep
off your heavy headedness and the cool wave of insomnia strikes you right in
the centre of your thoughts. Stupid heat, stupid mosquitoes, stupid late night
buzzing noises. Ai ja well, at least I’m not being shipped off to the other
side of the world this time round. I think what all of this boils down to, is
that if we actually have nothing to complain about, then we’ll find something,
no matter how insignificant and ridiculous and moan about that. Life’s actually
pretty rad, but I just can’t shake that feeling of the discerning zen before
the storm.</div>

And finally, it’s the first proper Monday of this academic
year, it’s raining outside and I’m pretending to be in Holland. Hey, this is
how we cope. This is a pretty boring post, so here are a gazillion pictures for
your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. </div>

<span lang="EN-GB">One of my all-time favourite movies is the
lovable <i>Garden State. </i>I always
thought it was because Zach Braff wrote, directed, and played a depressed
B-movie actor in it (what’s not to love). But I think it’s more than that. I
think in part I identified so much with it, because it’s about his struggle to
cope with having no home. Numbed out on various drugs for chronic headaches and
depression, he has become alienated from his world in Hollywood, which he tries
to resolve on returning to his family home in New Jersey for his mother’s
funeral. But he can’t because the house he grew up in isn’t his home, and neither
is his actor’s pad in L.A. He says, “It's like you feel homesick for a place
that doesn't even exist.”</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t feel
particularly numb or depressed but that line stuck with me. I feel homesick but
I’m not sure for what. I’m Norwegian and Dutch. I grew up partially in Beirut,
Lebanon. My Dutch family has lived in Belgium for most of my mother’s life, and
to make matters more confusing, my school life in Oslo consisted of a tiny,
harboured international school of oil kids, embassy kids, or rich Norwegian
kids (ugh). So who I am or where I “belong” has been pretty much up in the air most
of my life, especially now that I’m living in the Netherlands. It was
interesting to talk to Marijke about this because she really has a home for
better or worse in South Africa, and talks of the people like her own. In my case, in the
Netherlands I’m Norwegian or Belgian (because of my accent when speaking
Dutch). In Norway I’m Dutch or Belgian, or some quasi-foreign international
school kid. And it’s true, I never did grow up sauntering around Grünerløkka,
or hanging around street corners at the central station, or wasting time at the
many and various Oslo cafés and coffee shops, but I feel like I’m entitled to
have some form of ‘home-country’ where I can go and feel like I belong. While
the location of my family home has remained fixed in the cool, bohemian
Briskeby neighbourhood, this has had no effect on my ability to feel at home in
Norway amongst the Norweyens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">This Christmas holiday, however, I feel I made
a breakthrough. My New Year’s Eve had been a timid dinner party at family
friends and the end of the year passed by, devoid of the excitement and
inevitable failure to live up to said excitement that surrounds this end of
things. The next morning I got up bright and early, as last night’s revellers
calmed down, passed out, squirmed in uncomfortable couches or made their
sombre, deadened way to the nearest bus stop to ride it home, red eyed and
hungover. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Winter days in Oslo can go two ways; either
you’re wrapped up in long-johns, socks, scarves, thick gloves while bitterly
cursing whatever Norse god is responsible for the bone-bitingly cold air
freezing over your eyelids, or you’re wrapped up the same but sporting a wicked
pair of vintage sunglasses you found on your mother’s dresser, and a grin to
match it. On this particular day, the world was smiling in Oslo with a
brilliant sunshine and crisp cold, winter air, and so was I. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I stepped out; emerging from my small family
apartment in the middle of Oslo, in care-free Briskeby, my jacket zipped tight
and my scarf wrapped right up to my eyes, but underneath it all I was smiling
along the world. I caught a cross-town bus to take me up along the relative
height of St. Hans Hill, to the Aker River in East-side Oslo. In the sighing,
rumbling compartment of the bus sat men and women, all ex-lovers, going home,
deep bags of unfettered joy and soul-crushing sleeplessness under their eyes
where they carried all the previous night’s champagne and throaty roars. One of
them, a blonde and bushy-haired pilgrim of New Years was branded with markers
on his face, evidence of his failure to stay awake on this most conspicuous of
nights. I was not marked like them, I did not have the dirty suits, the
dishevelled hair (well I did, but not for the same reasons), or the hoarse
whisper that always followed a night of whoops, fireworks and five million
cigarettes. Outside, the day was shining, the sun a warming yellow, and it
transformed the icy ground outside to a nostalgic childhood’s snow, when it was
nothing but a giant blanket to get lost and play in. Leonard Cohen played, and when
I got off the bus, I saw a man sat double on a bench, bent close over a coffee
and clinging to it like to a lifeline, ushering in the new year with his head
scattered and trodden like the leaves on the icy ground. For him it was already
here, and passed, but it hadn't happened for me yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">I wandered, uprooted, or perhaps un-rooted,
along the Aker River and came to a height where one could see far along the
river’s trajectory, all shimmering in evening sun (any sun is an evening sun in
Norwegian winter – short days). The waterfalls had frozen and melted again so
all that was left of Winter’s mighty cold were shells of ice which hid the waterfalls’
plunge, or clung to trees protruding from the river. I rested only shortly, to
be struck by the unbelievable beauty of the sunny winter’s day in Oslo. If
anything it was a moment for prayer, or falling to my knees and weeping at the
Kantian sublimity of it all, but I didn’t – all in all public weeping isn't a
particularly common practice in Norway, and besides, it wasn’t the natural
beauty of it that struck me. It was that I was so struck by the sight that
struck me. I was so moved by what by all accounts was my home-country, which is
a feeling I can’t say I’ve often experienced. I’ve always said Oslo is a dull
town, but the ringing falseness of that statement smacked me upside the head in
the face of such emotional weight in what was basically a run-of-the-mill
postcard picture of fair O-town. But there was something in the frozen river
that I found, underneath those clinging scraps of ice, or the squat, wooden,
and brightly coloured houses that sat sunning in the afternoon. And it was in
the people too, the tightly wrapped and blissful people that braved the literal
layer of ice on the paths, and breathed the crisp air of a spotless, blue sky. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">“Poetry?” asked a man who was passing me by,
indicating the journal in which I was furiously scribbling. I looked up in
wonder. Being addressed by strangers in Oslo is unusual and I mumbled something
vague in reply. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">

timid reply. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">“I doubt it very strongly,” I replied, but he
wasn’t really listening. He had returned to his stroll, and sauntered in the
direction of the icy path where his friends awaited him. He kicked at a twig
with his hands clasped behind his back, and tested the ice, sliding about
before setting his foot down and walking on. I wanted to ask him what it was he
was looking for, because he seemed to almost have found it, but the moment was
over, and he was gone. I wanted to join the search, to find it, too, but in
hindsight, I think that day I did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I ended my walk on the top of St. Hans Hill,
overlooking the park where children played – a Brueghel painting unfolding
before my eyes – and the sun began its descent. All noise was silenced by the
snow and ice and only ephemeral sounds reached me there as I looked over the
fjord which, along with brown cheese and insane beer prices, is the most
quintessentially Norwegian thing you could want. The stillness lay flat over
the water between the mountains on either side of Oslo, as the sun passed down,
way in the foggy distance. I walked to a home now less imagined; more tangibly
present in my mind, through the snow covered, sunlit, cigarette, champagne
bottle and trash-covered streets of Oslo, January 1<sup>st</sup>, 2013. Maybe
that was the real New Year’s Eve and I did find what I was looking for, or
maybe I’m just feeling nostalgic – but in any case, I feel a little more at
home in Norway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So it is HERE! jurrrrrr hello, I've waited for a year. A full blown, heat blazing, skin drying, mouth watering, quiet-as-it's-kept wave of rippled air. Hello Stellenbosch on a December afternoon. Why on earth am I still here. RANTING, I love to rant and I placed myself in the perfect situation to do just that. Staying FAT in this godless town.</div>

So recently I’ve been a lone wolf, dealing without the
constant rush of external voices and influences, and it is in such a state that
contact with the outside world becomes a contemplative struggle, especially
after a night out when one’s ears are still ringing from the long lost drum and
bass mosquito postmortemly sighing it's last sigh from half an hour’s smoke filled dance floor ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, so after three years of reading and

it is interesting to encounter the people relations you’ve had for your entire
life, whether it be with your siblings, parents, that best friend who always
sticks around or that slightly red-eyed ‘friend’ you’ve made every other night
out with whom you feel inclined to share your entire life story with and on
top of that, feel comfortable enough to delve into an in-depth discussion
concerning RELIGION AND GOD, THE MOST DANGEROUS TOPICS IN ANY CONVERSATION. And
then at 2am, on a sticky night, one contemplates relations, to other people
and to oneself. How is it possible that most people know and enjoy the
sensation of taking one’s waaay to small shoes off at the end of a stuffy summer’s
day and totally get off on the delight of walking bearfoot on that sweet sweet
heavenly damp luminous green grass?</div>

That description probably got you thinking
back to the last time you felt that exact same sensation, right? And now that
I’ve jogged your memory, think back to time you met your oldest friend, oops,
you can’t right, because you were probably snot-nosed and still easily pleased
by the magic of a light switch. So as social beings, right from the start you
are assigned to - and acquainted with a number of people who have ‘walked your
path’ with you, most steps of the way (Oprah quote, don’t hate) and somehow, no
matter how bad they get or how damn bored or annoyed you are with those
specific people, you can’t help but admit that they probably know you inside
and out the best. You are the most comfortable to be the worst of yourself in
front of them and vice versa...man and sometimes it gets real and real ugly.
But those people become the barnacles to your whale ass, even if you don’t see
them for the next 20 years, you’ll still have that connection, those memories
tied and bonded so tight, that nothing remains hidden in the attempt at an
elusive expression.</div>

Yeah, right now you might hate your parents for being those
backwards fools who raised you in that small town in god-knows-oh-wait-he-doesn’t-care.
But despite your intolerance, those ‘fools’ raised you, somehow, at the most
crucial stages of your existence and look at yourself now, you think, you read,
you criticise to the extent that you comfortably criticise your own genetic
ancestry. And then you meet the new and exciting folks you have shaped your
sense of humour, your taste in music, in fashion, books, films, sports, hobbies
and your skills in kak-praat. F-R-I-E-N-D-S. and damn they can be the best, the
most golden, the most sublime time-wasters to hang out with and then it all
flip-flops and they turn into trickass losers who forget and bullshit and
ignore and carry on (you and I do exactly the same)</div>

yourself, okay with doing your own thing and really digging time spent “ALL BY

this time. No not your new boifrend or guuulfrend, but simply that storm

holy and the comfort, OH THE COMFORT. Where have you been, huh? It’s lovely to
think of all the people like that you have yet to meet, so many of them.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It is incredible how one film (okay, admittingly repeatedly watched) can have such a strong influence on one’s psyche and perception of the world. By firstly naming the practice of collecting (Jonfen/Jonathan – Wood’s character - when asked about his profession, states that he is a collector of ‘things’) and secondly by placing emphasis on his practice of collecting throughout the film, I was made aware that there is a given space in which one could accentuate the importance of this practice in one’s personal and interpersonal life. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course, the notion of collecting isn’t a foreign concept. Most people strive to collect and maintain a good amount of cash money, but as the wise prophets of Wu Tang Clan have taught us, “Cash Ruins Everything Around Me”, in their hit song C.R.E.A.M. Don't you just love a witty acronym? Besides the collection of wealth in the form of dollar dollar bills, we all collect SOMETHING. Whether it is art, clothing, books, music, films, photographs, shoes, sunglasses, etc. and these are arranged in a hierarchal form, I guess depending on the ‘replacability’ of the items in question. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In my opinion, having iTunes wipe all my music in one great tsunami of “Disk Clean-Up” is pretty bad, but not entirely as devastating as losing the collection of photographs I have taken and accumulated over my adolescent and post-high school years. It’s nerve-shattering to realise how easy all our virtual collections can be depleted. Irreplaceable data lost forever in a mess of zeros and ones. Not even this guy with his manifold facial expressions would be able to help you in some dire technological crisis. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I find myself anxiously gathering numerous, seemingly insignificant and useless items in order to remember the small details of that one golden day or that one sublime experience shared with someone which seems to have happened in a different lifetime altogether. Just a minor warning, I get tediously sentimental and nostalgic about almost everything on a day like today. I guess this is still a rant, or some means to channel my frustration and anxiety. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><b>ROSKILDE FESTIVAL</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When I first arrived at the camp site that was to become the largest
music festival in the European North, it was little more than a great, empty
field of battle waiting to happen. I felt like Caesar as I surveyed this
foreign land where I would stay for the next ten days and make my stand against
the forces this world had arrayed against me. The gates to the festival and
camping site had yet to open and before me thousands upon thousands of hopeful,
drunken youth, dedicated heads of families with their children in tow, and
people of all ages in shorts, shirts, bear suits, princess costumes and all
manners of different clothing were grouped in a tight formation, leaning,
pushing and sitting on each other. The cumbersome packs slung on backs,
towering above their heads like ornate headpieces, were loaded with everything
and anything they would need and wouldn’t in the coming campaign. I too, was
ready for the fight after harrowing months of school and work, stress and
deadlines, and felt like nothing could stop me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The gates opened, and the flood was released, washing across the
battlefield with merciless abandon, an apocalyptic force that would for the
next ten days dance, trample, spill, piss, plant, ash and vomit on, in and
around every uninhabited spot of the field, as well as several of their
comrades’ tents. Camps were quickly established, flags raised to declare
tenuous groupings and all manners of decorations and adornments hung from poles
and pavilions, colouring the field with a blossoming, bursting life. Cowboys,
knights and Mario and Luigi walked around hand in hand, followed by Pikachu,
bears and witches, hippies, business suits and tennis players; an amalgamation
of everything and anything that can and should exist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When the camps were set up, and the flags raised, and the first rag-tag
band of merry men and women were settled, the festival began in earnest, joined
continuously by a trickle of new arrivals, brought by bus or car, and herded in
through gaps in the massive fence system that kept that band of brothers and
sisters separate from the non-existent outside world. The first five days of
the festival are officially known as the Warm-Up, where entertainment is more
or less left up to those with the inspiration and creativity to get it started.
Sound systems, dragged in on carts or pushed in wheelbarrows, sat squat and
dominatingly loud along the dirt paths that served as a road system in the
great shanty town of Roskilde. Already surrounded by merry dancers, unwilling
to wait for the festival true, each sound system was a locus of activity,
drinking, and nudity, as a constant spray of beer kept the participants well
fuelled for the endless party. They jumped and kicked, fists punching the air
and hugging each other restlessly, sun glasses bouncing, beach balls hopping
from head to head as the sun overhead began its patient wait for our inevitable
breakdown the following day under its incandescent rays and our aching stupor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Between the dancing and the relentless rhythms of repetitive and
demanding summer hits, there were the camps already filled with collapsed and
resting people. Under great tarps and virgin white pavilions they sat, slumped
and moaning quietly, or speaking to their campmates on the great topics of life
and philosophy, love and morality as the lives of their warm beer fizzled out,
leaving stagnant cans for later use as a bowling ball, in the Roskilde game of
beer-bowling, the rules of which are too numerous and complicated to describe
here. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After a few days, the weather had become hot in earnest, and the
pristine and multicoloured tent city had begun to look crestfallen, graffiti
marking most neighbourhoods and the ever present stink of sweat, hash, and piss
that pervaded the festival had grown to near unbearable levels. But bear it we
did, as the heat evaporated the veritable river of urine that ran along the
less populated roads and created a jaundiced haze that hung over us like a
punishment from above. The port-a-potties functioned as greenhouses and created
smells in that cramped space that were worthy of remembrance. Whether or not an
odour actually can damage you lungs is beyond my basic knowledge of biology but
if it could, those toilets would have been shut down by the local board of
health.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the southern quadrant of the camping site a lake lay, promising cool
respite from the days’ rising temperatures, and the festival-goers flocked to
it like Anabaptists in dusty bathrobes, stolen from a mother’s wardrobe, or,
failing that, naked as the day they were born. This continued daily, beers and
joints shared on the beach among the thickets, until the official decree came
that declared the water too dirty, too corrupted from the filth of thousands of
dirty bodies daily, spitting, spilling, and urinating to their heart’s content.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Finally, the music area opened, and the grime-encrusted population of
Roskildefestivalen was let into its welcoming space, lined always with beer
tents, food tents, merchandise tents, tobacco tents, urinals, graffiti,
minibanks, and rows of men and a few daring or desperate women, relieving
themselves against the plywood walls, shouting back to their friends and
greeting those next to them. There was a rum and cigar bar where I shared a
‘nice’ cigar with a few of my campmates (by which I mean it was not the
cheapest), a greenhouse, a silent disco, a hairdresser’s, an orange bar; all
types of food (“Mama’s Southern Burgers,” “Gringo Nachos with Chicken Wings,”
“Mummmbai Samosas,” the infamous “Skiburger,” “Fridtjof’s Meatballs,” and other
such delectable treats) were available for a connoisseur such as myself and I
ate until I burst, almost literally. At the concerts, heads bobbed in the
smoke, collected standards waved, and feet moved, sluggish at first, but soon
stamped and jumped to the beat of the music, were it psychedelic electronica,
upbeat Americana folk, or orderly but raucous heavy death metal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The nights became one. An excited girl at Bon Iver cheered me up with
tears of joy and whoops of happiness; crying, drunken dramatics came crashing
through our camp one night, leaving behind a broken chair and several ringing
ears; roving sound systems, loaded on carts, pushed by tireless, spectacled and
topless boys and girls in the bright Northern nights; gin, Jägermeister, vodka,
cocktails, rum, beer, and endless cigarettes smoked by every bushy-haired or costumed
festivalgoer, resulted in muddy one-night stands. The rain began, a slow
pitter-patter, deceptively soothing despite its threatening potential to drown
the festival, but no such disaster struck, and Roskilde continued unhindered,
its participants now mud-soaked and naked, rolling and laughing and singing and
roaring. Three Icelandic Pikachu girls danced on the mobile music station and a
beautiful fog descended on the final night, hanging over the lake, grey, black,
and brown. Our last stand came in a ditch now water-logged and brown-green,
where we spent the night dancing and stamping our feet around the three Pikachus,
venerating the goddesses of the Roskilde spirit, supplicant in our reverence to
those great deities. We danced until our legs were spattered. We danced until
our stomachs turned. We danced until the flags waved no more. One girl fell off
the wagon, and puked and proclaimed to the rising sun “I’m dying, I’m dying!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The night was over, and our goddesses had fallen. The battle was over,
and we had put up a mighty fight, but the real world persists, and Roskilde
takes no one with her, so we went to sleep for the final two hours before our
last march down the festival avenues.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The final morning arrives and a bleary-eyed young man emerges, first
with his head, tasting the air, then the rest of him appears and he sits down
in front of his tent opening. He manages to produce a cigarette, from where is
unclear, and rests it between his fingers, staring into the intensely hot but
gloomy morning. His red eyes are infused with a shell-shocked look as they fix on
a point just outside of space and time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another man appears up the road, with a moaning cry like some
primordial, sloth-like, rumbling creature, and walks about, seemingly at
random. His eyes are two round, red orbs, searching the ground. He finds what he’s
looking for and urinates against an abandoned tent. Soon the campsite is awash
with dirty coughs, spits, packing, mumbling, and a lonesome ranger with a
guitar, rendering a melancholy tune as the sun, too, is overwhelmed and
subsumed by hazy grey clouds that bring with them a light, trickling rain, as
if too exhausted to bring its full, biblical potential to bear against the
garbage wasteland that Roskildefestivalen has become.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It was a melancholy feeling that day as I sat with my camp members,
incapacitated by the drink and the sun that had deigned to return after the
cleansing showers, looking over the dirt path by our camp, at the people on
their way home. The sad, last march of the Roskilde festival-goers. A downcast
look in their eyes, they trudged with carts and bags, loaded with matrasses,
sleeping bags, disheveled clothes, carts with beer, sound systems, footballs,
hats, a friend passed out, enjoying a ride through the shanty town of tents and
pavilions, and piles and piles of garbage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We smoked our last cigarettes and squinted under the sun, defeated,
finally, by the Orange Feeling (the name given to the pseudo-mystical effect of
attending Roskilde Festival; it is the vomit in the clear plastic bag; it is
the sun rising in the fog; it is the croak one develops after a day of battle;
it exists outside of judgment; it simply is). Beside me lay a half-eaten
chicken sandwich, on its way to decomposition and martyrdom. Days of glory were
past as the sinful returned home in a slow trickle, yet we could not cast
stones, for we too would be on our way. Roskilde was over, for now, and the
bubble had burst. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Soon we were making our way through the trash carpet, avoiding ripped
and shredded tents, empty crates of beer, matrasses, cans, bags and boxes of
bread, vegetables, jam, and fruit, balloons, signs, clothes, abandoned lives of
a hardy, alcoholic folk. Broken pavilions and tent poles littered the ground
and stuck out like the legs of large insects, on their backs, confused and
dying, scrabbling at the air for relief. We smoked our second round of last
cigarettes. I came, I saw, I partook, but lo I did not conquer, for Roskilde
forges her own path, and none can stand in her way. We can only follow along
for a short while before being shaken off, and forced to return home, tails
tucked between our mud-spattered legs. What we had fought for – I’m sure it was
different for each and every one of us – but I like to believe that there was
some commonality shared in our collective rejection of the outside world, for
just that while, those ten short days of love and destruction, bacchanalian
festivities and veneration of humanity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And th<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=313859921857883243" name="_GoBack"></a>en we sat, having bid farewell to Maya and
Louise, and Mark and Mikkel with a last beer, on the bus, an 8 hour journey to
Oslo, and home. Isolated behind tinted windows, we sat and looked out the
windows at the Swedish countryside, as it swept past, quiet and green and
rolling, with pine-trees and boulders, punctuated with red or blue houses
dotted on the landscape. The AC’d cabin of the bus was the only sound I heard, the
faint murmur from other passengers creating the backdrop for the truly beautiful
Scandinavian nature rolling by. The clouds, highlighted now by the high evening
sun, pointed our way home, shaped like the breaking waves in a Hokusai print,
their frothing crests rounded off by the guiding winds. Though occasionally
covered by a cloud, and shaded by the bus’ tinted windows, the westering sun was
a white light orb, now followed by a ghost trailing on the ground below, because
what now sat in the bus back to Oslo was but a fragment of what we left behind
at Roskilde. </span></div>

Okay so it’s been established that I’m lazy and back into
the full swing of what has been coined ‘South African time’ by some of my Dutch
friends who got awfully annoyed by my constant tardiness. If this doesn’t make
sense to you, let me explain. Upon arrival in the Netherlands (ja, I’m back in
South Africa in case you wondered) I was extremely flustered and taken aback by
the efficiency of the Dutch people. The pace of everyday life in Amsterdam
literally zooms past you and I had quickly learnt that if you don’t hurry up
and catch on, you’ll miss your train, you’ll get cycled into by Lance Armstrong
wannabes that seems to crowd the bicycle lanes, you’ll be shoved out the local
supermarket with half of your groceries pouring from your hands and you’ll get
a thousand heavy glances from these punctual Northern Europeans who simply
cannot stand your inefficient incompetence. ANYWAY this is not the point. The
point is that I got used to this fast paced way of life and now after being
back for nearly two months, I have regressed and reverted back to the
Sub-Saharan way of doing…casually and leisurely taking everything a quarter of
a step at a time. LEKKER</div>

Besides all of these lovely characteristics, Gus is my
cross-continental bestie and in order to keep contact and such, we have decided
to co-blog. So as I ramble on about life in Africa, he will keep you posted on
how life is seen, lived and experienced in Europe through the eyes of this
dashing young intellectual. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, well Gus is currently still on VAC, chilling around
Amsterdam so I’ll keep posting my virtual rants whilst he conjures up something
exciting. Indeed I still have to write up about my sibling adventure, the last
weeks in Amsterdam and THAT blues gig. But for now I bid you adieu and hope you
find something more exciting to do this weekend than write a 1000 words on the theory
of social justice, gaaaaaawd. til later ya'll </div>

yoh yoh yoh. sorry for neglecting my blog like this. I guess I have been super busy lately. BUSY LIVING because I'm so close to my last month here in Europe and it kinda freaks me out. I have so much to organise, write, memorise, laugh at, smile at, take in, experience and it's overwhelming...once again.<br />
<br />
My brother dear is arriving on Saturday morning and it feels surreal imagining the boy in my living space. I simply cannot wait to show him around and see his eyes widen as he experiences his magical city. And next week, Michael and I are embarking on our sibling-bonding Euro-trip. Berlin, Krakow, Prague and Munich by means of interrrail and CouchSurfing. It's been a bit stressful organising this trip, but I think it will all work out. It's Europe right...what could possibly go wrong? HA! "A lot" I here you say, but I believe that we'll be just fine and if all else fails, it will still be an experience we wouldn't been able to have at home.<br />
<br />
I do have a few current worries. First on the list is organising a bicycles for us, keys for the flat, buying train tickets, finishing an 8 page essay on Postmodern literature. But the sun is shining and the living is easy and I feel good...so nothing is getting me down at the moment. ADDED BONUS: when Mike and I get back from our trip, we will encounter 4 of the best, craziest MOFO's arriving in Amsterdam. yessah! Four of my friends are coming to visit, so I'll play tour-guide and teach the kids a thing or two about Dutch culture. Van Gogh, cycling without breaks or gears, survival tips on big city life, how to shop for cheap food, how to get yer groove on Amsterdam style, y'know. Show them the ropes.<br />
<br />
ELKGEVAL...enough admin talk. Here is what I have been up to. On the 29th of April we celebrated Koninginnenag (Queens night) in Amsterdam and the next day we rolled into Koninginnedag (Queens Day) which marks the birthday of Queen Juliana, the mother and predecessor of the current Dutch Queen Beatrix (whose actual birthday is on the 31st of January). I guess they just kept the date for admin purposes. Makes sense right? Quick interval of totally irrelevant information: There is a Princess Marijke, I am famous yo! She is the youngest daughter of the previously mentioned Queen Juliana and sister of Beatrix. BAM! Royalty check. <br />

Anyway, back to Queens Day. So after Queens Night I was feeling a tad queasy and didn't really feel up to a day of festivties. But Catherine came back to the flat with a pair of Doc Marten boots in MINT condition which she purchased for 5 euros and that made me jump out of bed, fly out the flat and experience the greatest thing in the world... the <i>Vrijmarkt </i>which is Dutch for 'Freemarket'. The entire city was full of stalls selling clothing and used goods at SUPER LOW prices. Man we went cray. It was absolutely amazing, an entire day dedicated to free trade. Hmmm... the Dutch just can't seem to get enough of trade.<br />
<br />
This day also sees 800 000 visitors to the city. Although Queens Day is celebrated throughout the country, people flock to Amsterdam as the biggest party happens right here.<br />
They shut down all public transport systems to the city centre and the streets are brimming with masses of orange clad grooving troopers. The day was blessed with AMAZING weather and we all missioned around in summers outfits. We bought silly coats, tried to get on a party boat (which failed), danced in the street, went to fun rides and saw the entire city from high above on a merry go round contraption that seems to defy gravity. It was a good day to say the least.<br />
We all pretty much failed to be orange, but we still had a good time in the sun. With the entire city drunk and orange, the place was a mess by the end of the day. We sat in Vondelpark as the sun was setting and pieces of rubbish kept blowing into our faces, most hilarious and slightly unpleasant.<br />
We even went out for round 3 that night, but the town was pretty much dead, except for a few die-hard party goers who were bouncing around on their last legs. The streets were empty like a desert scene from the Mid-West, but instead of tumble-weed, we had crisps packets and plastic- bags and cups dancing in the wind.<br />
<br />
So here are some photos of the day (My friends might recognise these from facebook, but for the rest...enjoy)<br />

an ode to RADIOHEAD and Thom. I've always felt great sympathy towards Mr Yorke and his droopy eye, because I myself have often times been cursed with a swollen left eye due to spring time pollen and my apparent allergery to penicillin. But Thom has always given me new hope when my eye starts acting up and my confidence gets crushed. He has become a beckon of hope to those of us who suffer from temporary or permanent eye troubles. What a champ.<br />
<br />
Hmmm, it's a Friday afternoon and I have a 2000 word essay for Monday which I haven't even started on. But this Northern European weather and my general state of melancholia has brought me to the mercy of Thom York and his talented band. So guys, I am here to do some active procrastination and dedicate this post not only to Radiohead but to all my friends with whom I have shared great moments whilst listening and dreaming away to their beautiful music.<br />
<br />
Listening to Radiohead in itself has become a transcendental experience. When one listens to them it is as if the entire world is structured around that particular song or album, it becomes the soundtrack to the dramatic, independent French art film which is your life. So guys, this blog post is really trying to promote the band and the possibility that they might come to play on our home soil, so please please log on to Facebook and go like this page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RadioheadSaTour">https://www.facebook.com/RadioheadSaTour</a><br />
It's really worth a shot and who knows, we might strike it lucky ey! Forget about KONY 2012 and focus your attention on RADIOHEAD 2012.<br />
<br />
In order to get you excited, here is a list of my current top 10 favourite Radiohead songs (This was really tough to compile, but it's what I'm more or less into at this moment)<br />
<br />
10. Reckoner<br />
9. House of Cards<br />
8. Down is the New Up<br />
7. Karma Police<br />
6. Paranoid Android<br />
5. Give Up the Ghost<br />
4. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi<br />
3. Creep<br />
2. Fake Plastic Trees<br />
1. Just<br />
<br />

Now go and practice your Lotus Flower dance moves<br />
<br />
and just for interests sake, Yorke's girlfriend and mother of his two children, Rachel Owen is a printmaker and her work is pretty amazing, ch-ch-check it<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">My mind
is in a slight tangle after visiting Barcelona. I still haven’t quite made
sense of the whole ordeal. It was such an absolute dream come true, that
whenever I think back to it, I give
whoever is standing next to me; a beautiful open-mouthed, dead-eye stare as I
start to realise what transpired in those 3 golden days under the Spanish sun.
Yes sure, I’ve got a million of those terrible ‘point and shoot’ photo’s as
proof of my physical presence in Batheloooona…and yet I still cannot
quite comprehend that it was a reality. This might be due to the fact that I’ve
got a terrible cold and the meds are making my brain bounce. But a mere three
days of extensive sightseeing turns out to be a ridiculous amount of time to
soak up the Catalan spirit, but hey…at least I can still find some
Mediterranean sea sand in my coat pockets.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> It’s
been a week since we commenced our journey and headed south for Easter. A full
month has gone by since I’ve left Amsterdam and I felt the need to get out, get
some sun and see some catholic Easter processions. Cath and I have been
planning this trip since our return from Paris, and yet we petered around for
long enough to get the last really expensive flight to Barcelona (it was either
that or a 26 hour long bus trip, hahahaha….sure) but thanks to our lovely
parents (THANK YOU MOM AND DAD) we were able to close our eyes and pay the
price for a quick ticket to the one city which I most wanted to visit in
Europe. I don’t know why I have such a romanticised idea about Barcelona, but I
guess it has something to do with the artistic vision of Woody Allen, Penelope
Cruz swearing in Spanish and Javier (OH! Javier…) Bardem’s charm must have
played some role in the formation of my idealistic view of life in the Catalan
capital city. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So finally
we began our great adventure making use of every means of transport possible to
reach the golden city of the sangria. After extensive travel by foot, tram,
bus, train and plane; we reached Barcelona bleary-eyed, beat and primarily
disorientated but we were able to crack smiles despite our heavy headedness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">With our
vitality restored we did everything we could possibly squeeze into three days
of extensive sightseeing. We gaped at Gaudi, we swirled in pools of sangria, we
pored over Picasso’s life work, marvelled at Miro and were just visually
stunned by the vast amount of beauty and life that is Barcelona. We stayed at a
hostel very close to La Ramblas, so close in fact that it is called ‘Centre
Ramblas Youth Hostel’ which provided us with beds, breakfast, awful coffee and
one resident creeper of a neighbour who always seemed to lurk in the dark
corners of the corridor…so we didn’t spend much time hanging around waiting for
a chance encounter with him. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> Moving
onto the topic of language…Espa</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">ñ</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">ol. The only real useful Spanish
phrase I know is, “Donde esta el baño?” which means, “where is the bathroom?”…
and Saskia picked up, “Una cerveza por favour” which means, “one beer please”.
Man, with these two phrases and our combined charm, we had the powerful tools
to paint the town red and conquer the Barcelona night scene…but we didn’t and
often got bewildered Spanish men pointing us into all directions, desperately
trying to guide us to the nearest bathroom or beer stand. We also tried
incorporating ‘Nacho Libre’ in our vocabulary as means of scoring free snacks
through our understanding that its direct translation would be, “Free Nachos!”
but alas, I guess this video would sum up my knowledge of the Spanish language… <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j25tkxg5Vws">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j25tkxg5Vws</a> . In the end it was our clever use of hand gestures that got us much
further than any utterance of broken Spanish phrases ever could. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So on
Saturday night, we did what any good tourists would do and we joined our
hostels local pub crawl. Seedy bars, body shots and bad music is what we
expected and what we got. I once again closed my eyes, paid the price and in
the end had a surprisingly entertaining night. The first few bars were good,
but the club (yes, CLUB) turned out to be the local guido hang out. Man HOTEL
MOTEL HOLIDAY INN…In the end we gave up and joined in the fun but left as soon
as 40 year old orange Spaniards started winking and pouting at us. These guys were certainly not the mystery skateboarders we were
hoping to meet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Next
day we found the sand, the sea and the sun on our winter skin. Another fun fact
about Barcelona…the culture of rollerblading and skateboarding, it’s huge and
it made for a myriad of beaming men and women zooming about the sidewalks. Oh,
I’ve lost track of the countless times I nearly bumped into old ladies as I
extended my gaze to those gorgeous Spaniards elegantly weaving their way up and
down the boardwalk. Proper skateboarders, something I really miss seeing in
Amsterdam, I guess the Spaniards just have an inherent culture of cool.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Walking
along, desperately in search of a gelato stand, we stumbled upon a live band.
Sitting down to listen, I fell in love with the city proper, having the sun on
my shoulder, music in my ears and Spanish rhythm to sway to. Pure gold on a
Sunday afternoon in which boredom and ‘dem blues’ seemed so far removed from
our situation. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> As the sun set, we had finally found our
gelato shop. As our last proper sight to see in the city, we headed to find the
enchanting fountain of colours at the Plaça d'Espanya. The Font Màgica de
Montjuïc was built in 1929 as a feature of the Barcelona World Fair and
Universal Exposition that showcases an amazing display of water, light and
music which proves to be a surreal foreground to the backdrop of the city. If
ever you get the chance to visit Barcelona, make sure you go to see the lights.
Here is a link, so please go check it out (by this time my digital camera
breathed its last breath and I was unable to capture the display, but this guy
did a pretty decent job) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgzGa3EbPW0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgzGa3EbPW0</a></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So having
spent a decent amount of money on food, sights, transport and accommodation, we
decided to spend our last night in style; as only the hardcore student
travellers would do, on the Barcelona airport. To tell the truth, we couldn’t
find another hostel to accommodate us for our last night and our flight left
pretty early on Monday morning, so we thought hey! Why not? It’s not as if any
of us are used to resting our pretty lil heads on the crisp clean pillowcases
of any 7 star hotel. So we did what we always do… we closed our eyes and gunned
it. Guys, honestly, an empty, dimly lit airport lounge is such a beautifully
surreal space. We made friends with the cashier at the only 24 hour snack bar
(we conveniently set up camp in close range), he came from Ghana so we had a
mutual understanding, the Africans meandering around Europe. Isn’t strange how
quickly one is able to strike up a conversation or form an instant camaraderie
when you meet any one who comes from a vaguely similar background when you’re
stuck so far away from home? Suddenly Ghana seems to border South Africa and
you share neighbours. Before I get
terribly patriotic and carried away…this is what transpired. Cath and Ingrid
curled up on what seemed to be a pretty decent excuse for a bed, made from
various items of clothing and a baby changing station which conveniently folds
out of Ingrid’s wheely bag (I know right?) Saskia and I didn’t feel any sweet
slumber approaching, so we opted for the most fun airport slumber party
activity and we did yoga on our scarves for the next few hours. We were only
ever so often rudely interrupted with the glares of passersby. But it all
turned out pretty well. After that we treated ourselves to some coffee and
chocolate croissants and discussed our lives and personal philosophies in
depth, strange how the late night air encourages these heart-to-heart
conversations. We ended the night with this song, ‘blasting’ from Saskia’s Sony
Eriksonn <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZdiXvDU4P0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZdiXvDU4P0</a> .This song stuck on repeat as my weary eyes gazed out as the sun started rising
over the Barcelona runways </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Arriving
back home on a rainy Monday morning, this great journey ended with a couple of
blisters, our tired eyes, haggard souls…one last sigh and this song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Lmi_uemSc">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7Lmi_uemSc</a></span></div>

I'm comfortably settled in and destined to become a master chef. I'm good at making pasta, popcorn, toast, pasta and I've recently learnt how to make couscous (read the Dutch instructions off the box...that is what I call WINNING). Cycling has become such a big part of my everyday life that a day without peddling seems like a waste. Even though I believe that I've mastered the Dutch way of cycling, my blunders still get crudely pointed out by aggravated Dutch ladies who don't think twice before yelling their foreign obscenities at me. Always fun to get shouted at by someone you're likely to never see again.<br />

Weather wise we've hit spring! Yep, today is marked as the official 'first day of spring' for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere. The world is in bloom, the birds are swaying, the trees are singing (Dylan Moran reference, sorry I just had to). Our days are getting longer and the sun shines more frequently, heck, the temperature is soaring to a crazy 17 degrees on Friday, the warmest it's been since I've arrived. Along with the budding leaves, I've been noticing how the people are becoming increasingly cheerful, singing as they cycle along and a few Sundays ago, I found these kids in the quad. So pumped up with all the Vitamin D they were receiving, they started scaling up the walls. So sun exposure equates the sudden urge to climb shit, makes sense right?</div>

Even though I'm living in one of the most exciting cities in the world, homesickness creeps in and spoils my mood, especially when I'm forced to sit down and pretend to be academically motivated. But when it gets too much, I simply head out to remind myself of where I am.<br />

The nightlife in Amsterdam is overwhelmingly diverse especially when you come from a town with such a limited amount of good bars. Last Thursday night I met up with Mia for a gig in town which turned out to be a lot of fun as we got nostalgic over 2 euro wine. We got together on Saturday with her sister Janel, Cath, and a new friend Gerrit, joining for some St Patrick's celebrations. Gerrit being a local, took us to a cosy little Irish pub just off Dam Square where we got well acquainted with, possibly the best barman in the world, Pedro. Our friend Pedro provided us with party hats, good laughs and free alcohol, filling up our drinks when we weren't looking. A good night with five South Africans celebrating an Irish holiday in Amsterdam...multicultural fun! </div>

So this weekend I took my first lone wolf trip in Europe and
met up with Cath and the girls in Paris. A night bus trip of 8 hours followed by 2 metro's got me to our first hostel. The girls spent their first night in agony and digust so we went on to find greener pastures and the 'Aloha' hostel. After our immediate transfer to
the better option (for an extra 10 euro per night), we took to the streets. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like a walking cliché I shambled down the streets of Paris
humming the Amelie theme song to myself and I often burst out singing the tune
from ‘Champs Elysees’ by Joe Dassin. Give it a listen and tell me that you
wouldn’t do the same? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA4KihbsISU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA4KihbsISU</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fun fact #1: Parisians do grunt! At first I thought it was
just me hearing myself grunt (which I did to add to the atmosphere) but they
actually do a guttural “AUW!” when you pass them. It’s absolutely fabulous. But
not quite as fabulous as the way these natives dress. The Champs Elysees is a
live catwalk show. Cath and I were dumbfounded by the beautiful waif-like
figures parading up and down the streets. Feeling and looking sufficiently less
glamorous than the natives, we trudged back to our beloved ‘Aloha’ hostel and
binged on digestive biscuits and Jaffa cakes, Cath’s discovery. They were able
to lift our spirits when we felt like giving up on our burned out limbs. Thank
goodness you can’t find these tasty treats of delight in Amsterdam; otherwise
we would soon more be rolling than strolling down the streets. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we got to the supermarket (which was equally as
overpriced and overwhelming as the rest of the city) I couldn’t stop myself
from reciting bits and bobs of ‘Foux Du Fafa’ by Flight of the Concords as I
cruised the isles in search of cheap dinner. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hrUGFhsXo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hrUGFhsXo</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To say the least, I was not disillusioned and disappointed
like some Japanese visitors. Check the link. It’s called ‘Paris Syndrome’, a
psychological disorder which mostly affects Japanese tourists who visit Paris
and get severely disappointed by the city itself when compared to the media
hype that puts it on such a high pedestal. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome</a> (I know you can't always trust wikipedia, but it's well worth a laugh)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two days of marathon walking was not enough to really get in
touch with the city or come to terms that I was actually in Paris. But we did
see the Arc de Triomphe, visit the Notre Dame, got lost in the Louvre, hiked up
to the Sacre Coeur, climbed the Eiffel (which was well worth the queue, my nausea
in the lift and fear of heights) and ate MacDonald’s like real (copout)
tourists. Here are some photos of what we did, what we saw and what we awkwardly
posed in front of, like real tourists.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 9 hour bus ride home was a bit much. I couldn’t climb
stairs or walk properly for that matter, my legs conked in with every second
step. This was exhaustion to taken to a super saiyan level. My arrival at the
flat was as rewarding as I thought when I collapsed face down on my bed. Paris
was satisfying. What a dream. </div>

So, i still feel like i'm on vacation and I've got a lot of work to catch up on. getting clued about every 'post' there is to know. post structuralism, post colonial theories and post POST post modernism. post life man. so I (cleverly) decided to give up theorising about theories that have been theorised by a million other people and went out to see the city by night. here are some (slightly blurred) shots of what i saw. my best procrastination session by far.Marijke - Gus - Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12170524131525961753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313859921857883243.post-61408206205847359702012-02-24T10:23:00.002-08:002012-02-24T10:27:30.669-08:00i fly like paper<div style="text-align: center;">

today was good for the soul. reinier and i missioned around in nature for about 4 hours today, we reached the sea, got blown away by the ice winds, visited a second world war memorial cemetery, discussed dutch modernist architecture and on the way back, visited IKEA. established in sweden, IKEA is the world's largest furniture retailer. i was sufficiently overwhelmed at the vast amount of EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR (to furnish your house with). reinier proved to be the best tour guide and was able to convince me to join the IKEA family cult following. another perk, cheap food! every store has a cafeteria, so we had cake and bottomless coffee. and on our way out, just had to get those 50 cent hotdogs. it was a truly amazing experience...IKEA, a store like no other, hahahaMarijke - Gus - Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12170524131525961753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313859921857883243.post-32524597832643781082012-02-21T13:39:00.002-08:002012-02-22T11:43:08.409-08:00so...amsterdam hey?<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It's been three weeks since I've arrived and here is my first blagh update. ever. what ish up? I'm currently living in the Northern hemisphere, a bicycle has become my only means of transport, I've seen van Gogh, Monet and Gauguin for the first time, I've walked on water, I broke my record by writing 17 letters and 4 postcards in 8 days, I've mastered cooking and I'm now a proud maker of toast and pasta, I'm officially a Dutch resident for the next 6 months, I've started drinking beer, oh and I cut my hair! To my friends and family, I miss ya'll dearly, but so far, Amsterdam is treating me well. Here are the photos of everything.Marijke - Gus - Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12170524131525961753noreply@blogger.com1Amsterdam, The Netherlands52.3702157 4.895167952.292658200000005 4.7372394 52.4477732 5.0530963999999994
