IT´S TIME FOR AFRICA!

Hold on - I just moved to Cape Town! Tsamina mina eh eh, waka waka eh eh!!

So I am here. In Bloubergstrand, Cape Town. I just arrived this afternoon, had a three hour sleep and walked outside. My heart stopped beating for a little second. On that other side was Table Mountain. And the city I will be living and studying in. I took this photo and stood there, just gazing at my new adventure.

I am going to study international relations at the University of Cape Town, said to be one of the two top universities in Africa.

I have no idea where I am going to live, how it will be to become a student again and what it is like to live in South Africa. And I love that feeling. The feeling of the unkown, the feeling of possibilities and new adventures.

I have always loved that feeling. Like when I left for a six month exchange program in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. I had never been to Asia before and ended up in a class with 6 tiny chinese boys. I felt huge! I made a documentary about transvestites, made friends from countries like Nepal, India and China. I sang a Norwegian troll song called "Når trollmor har lagt sine elleve små troll" at an audition for the next host of MTV Asia, walked on the catwalk and gave a present to the foreign minister of Malaysia and met the prime minister three times. All these experiences would never happen if I did not get out of my comfort zone. And I am so happy I experienced them.

These pictures are from a fashion show for the prime minister and the other ministers of Malaysia. I got the biggest and ugliest dress - because I was tall. It was filled with little balls from a bean bag. The tall viking did not fit into the same dresses as the gazelle-like girls from Kenya.

So now it is time for a new adventure in a new country. New friends to meet, new lessons to learn. I hope you want to come with me, here on my blog. And if you want, come visit me in South Africa! Waka waka eh eh!
