South Africa rocks

I got this great offer to go to South Africa with my old journalism crew and write about stuffie. I, of course, focused on LGBT issues and women and young people's contracting. I must say I'm inpressed with the last of them. LGBT was pretty much not a topic and so out of the agenda I was asked not to form a question about it. Hush hush.

Me and K are now back and kicking in LA as she's working here. Busy and stressed out - isn't that great? And that goes for the both of us.

I've got quite the blood!

Yeah. My mom was born in New York, US. Her mother was born in Berlin, Germany and her father in Edinburgh, Great Britain. They both emmigrated to Canada with the familys before the age of 10. They met in Hamilton, Canada and moved to New York.

My dad was born i Malmo, Sweden. His ancesters are from Sweden since forever. Since the time the area was Danish - suck on that one for a while.

I'm born in New York, US. I lived in Canada for two years and moved back to the US - but switched coast - now living in Los Angeles.

Okay, so it's now that many places, but draw them on a map! It's all very western - nothing from either Asia, Africa nor South America. I'm doing my best to smooth that over and have a trip to South Africa planned. How cool isn't that? I'm so thrilled. It's gonna be absolutely fabulous.
