More than just hookers and hash, Amsterdam
“Parfume Parfume,” says the eccentric old man sitting next me. His Dutch accent making the whole situation that much wierder. I look around, as if he was talking to someone else but I am heavily mistaken. I think back 10 minutes and realise in my heightened state of paranoia I must of sprayed ½ bottle of Diesel fragrance all over me. Damn, I smelt good, a little on the strong side, but still very good.
“It ...

MANDY BEUKES in Guernsey
Guernsey lies in the bay of St Malo in the English Channel, about 30 miles from the north coast of France and 70 miles from the south coast of England. We are just a 45 minute flight away from Gatwick, but what a world of difference. Life in Guernsey is very laid back. It reminds me a little of Cape Town on a relaxing Sunday afternoon. The locals in Guernsey are very welcoming and friendly. It has a sma ...
MARY-SUE HERRON in South Korea
This trip has been one of my most eventful. I have had experiences that will definitely stay in my memory banks. I have learnt a lot about myself and other people. Korea has shown me that life is way too short to worry about the small things in life. Korea has millions of possibilities but you have to get off your bum and try new things. The one thing I would suggest you do is respect the Korean culture whi ...
MUSIEK INNI VK December 08
Ek moet erken, voor Lize Beekman ons hier in London kom warm sing het met haar ryk stem en lekker stories, het ek net geweet sy is iemand wat sing, en nie veel meer nie. En is ek nie spyt nie? Van die eerste oomblik wat haar helder stem my onkant gevang het, tot by die amperse wese verandering wat sy ondergaan as sy begin stories vertel, soos net `n meisie wat Melkbosstrand huis noem, kan. Eers was dit vlak ...
MUSIC and THE INTERNET
It’s a typical Monday morning. I’ve been listening to the car radio on the way to work: that old medium that, despite its aging technology and poor sound quality, remains a staple part of the lives of millions of people across the world. I arrive at my desk and feel the itch to listen to more music, so I type the word ‘music’ into Google. The results show 1-10 of about 2 000 000 000 pages, found in 0.10 sec ...
MUSIEK INNI VK January 09
Soos ons nou staan aan die begin van `n Nuwejaar kan ons terugkyk op `n jaar war baie musikante ons hier in die VK kom vermaak het. En elke vertoning was iets nuut, iets ander en iets wat my oortuig het Suid Afrikaanse musiek is sterker as ooit en nog lank nie klaar gegroei nie. Maar een ding wat elke Saffa moet doen terwyl hy hier is, is iets wat jy nie altyd so baie geleenthede voor kry in SA nie. En dit ...
MUSIEK INNI VK February 09
Soos vele musikante jaarliks in foggy Lahnduhntown erken, is dit een helse voorreg om daar te kan wees. En as hulle voor `n uitverkoopte gehoor speel, is dit net nog `n pluimpie wat hulle aan hulself kan gee om te erken dat hulle nou rÍrig goed is. Teen die tempo wat groepe en musikante in Suid Afrika na vore kom en CD's vrystel, bepaal die wet van gemiddeldes dat 2009 weereens `n ryk jaar vir Suid Afrikaan ...
MADAME ZINGARA Dinner Cirque
Marvelling at the stained glass surrounds, the tented top and circular expanse of intimacy, I could feel the magic waiting to be released. I found myself forgetting about the zero degree existence outside. I stood inside a grand mirror tent, a ‘spiegelpaleis’, dwarfed only by its neighbouring London landmark of the Battersea Power Station. I felt like I had fallen into the rabbit hole, sliding deeper into A ...

MISSION CHRISTMAS WHILE ABROAD
A friend from Amsterdam looks forward to spending time with a South African friend that’s coming over for Christmas, drinking lots of wine to stay warm, ice skating – seeing as this is her first cold Christmas – and just soaking up as much of the Dutch culture over this time as possible.
In Dubai, Jean-Pierre can hardly wait for the office Christmas party. And as this will also be his first Dubai Christmas ...
MAKE DECISIONS EASIER
