"Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves... all we know is, he's called the Stig."

Some say that he has no understanding of clouds, and that his ear wax tastes like Turkish delight.

you know when you are so excited about something you feel like crying and laughing at the same time? i do. i really do. a few months ago my dad surprised us with Top gear tickets, for those of you who don't know who Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are.toss off and put on your televisions. I even have the Sub Zero magnets on my fridge.
Now as you know the devil was waiting to pull the "happy time" rug from underneath me and now our flights to Johannesburg are booked for Sunday night at 8:40.Top gear starts at 6:00. Balls. Now what can you do? just smile and ever so slightly just think up swear words in your mind. sigh.

here's to all of you lucky buggers getting to spend a few hours with comic geniuses and the best British entertainment there is to offer.if i was a sense of humor i would have loved to belong to one of those three.. cheers.

"some say he only knows two facts about ducks- and they're both wrong" - all we know is he's called the stig.

trix-

the life of a dancer..these are only some of the shoes that has to fit in my suitcase..I'll have you know that this suitcase may not exceed 24 Kl's. I'm fucked.

Merhaba..turkish for hello..

As some of you know i will be leaving for Turkey soon, yes the country , not the bird.I can be brave and all big. It has popular destinations such as Istanbul,Ephesus, Cappadoci and Belek. I will be situated , with dear friends Sam Cox and Trix vivier in Belek. so i decided to start a blog and let you into these months of intense training, cocktails and Turkish men.

The road has been long and hard so just to raise your heart rate a little bit i will let you in on some stories:
we must leave for Johannesburg supposedly tomorrow- but have received no flight numbers, have no passports(as this was couriered off to Johannesburg about a week ago for work permits) we have nada,- and though the visums and work permits were supposedly sorted out , we have to personally go for "a goo see" at the Turkish embassy. now you understand why me and my friends are resorting to extreme amounts of alcohol to serve as a sedative..To make it worse we must personally write a handwritten letter with our signature on( now this i did find very funny , and for those of you who know me , know i don't laugh quite like the normal "lady" ) to proclaim that we are not going to whore ourselves or engage in illegal activity to retain money, the reason for this is because of the bloody Russians! they say they are dancers wanting to make a living in turkey , but actually they are prostitutes looking for greener( and better looking) pastures.


hence, i have decided to start a blog and make you laugh with some of the ridiculous stories and adventures we are going to be faced with. Sam and i are going to be sticking together like flies to butter as trix will be keeping the two of us calm most of the time or under control. ja mamma trix.
