LIFE LESSON INJURY
THE PAIN WAS RELENTLESS and unforgiving! A week prior, I was a fit and healthy person before being completely bewildered by the excruciating pain of a diagnosed slipped disc in my neck! The neurosurgeon advised not much could be done to rectify the pinched nerve running down my arm resulting in paralysis of two of my fingers. Having read articles about people becoming addicted to pain killers, I’d always re ...

LAUDIOLOGY South by South West Four
While nearly every ‘houser’ (house music lover) was excited about the winter music conference in Miami in March, I was particularly excited about South by South West (SXSW) on the other side of the States, in Texas! Music, film, interactive conference and festival combined - thousands of bands ramming the city of Austin for five days. This was its 22nd year and my 2nd time (having been there four years ago ...
LET THE BRAAI SEASON BEGIN
TO BRAAI, OR NOT TO BRAAI. In every South African respect, the answer is quite simply; to braai. Many a meal has been spent around the coals of a top quality South African flame grill. It is one of those unique occasions that can be shared with anyone at any location, in any weather conditions and always with full expectations. The expectation to share, and share alike, in a great South African tradition. R ...

LAUDIOLOGY DJ Mujava
ENTERING THE PRESTIGIOUS La Remier nightclub, I heard the sound of South African streets blasting through the speakers. Surely there could be no French DJ in Toulouse playing this kind of music? The king of the townships – DJ Mujava – was indeed in the house along with the hottest French DJs of
the moment!I strolled around the club, observing the crowd and quickly realised that most of the audience were mi ...

LISE STEYN in Amsterdam
Life in Amsterdam is a culture shock! I am currently doing my Masters Degree in Art Restoration at the University of Amsterdam and I am confronted daily with issues and thoughts that are completely foreign to me. What have I learned so far? Well…
Be direct. It really confuses people when you are polite.
The Dutch don’t take compliments well; they think you are being insincere. If you compliment something, ...
LORINDA MINNAAR in Grand Cayman
I moved to Cayman at the end of January this year, mainly because I wanted to gain more experience in financial services (Grand Cayman is one of the leading offshore banking jurisdictions) and to live in a Caribbean paradise, of course… It was one of the best moves I’ve ever made!
The lifestyle here is very laid back. Like many other people I came to the Island on my own, but it is easy to make friends and ...
