On Sunday i caught the Gautrain with my foks from the Sandton train station to O.R.Tambo International Airport... if you ever have a chance to catch the Gautrain I'd really recommend it! such an awesome experience and i truly feel proudly South African!
After spending a few hours in the airport checking in my luggage, sorting out my Australian VISA (mission), having supper and drinks with my rents it was time to say good bye. this was a lot harder than i expected =/ they kinda made it easier for me by basically pushing me through the doors... lol
I had a few hours to kill and really needed to calm my nerves, so i decided I'd have a few cigarettes in the ONLY smoking lounge in international departures. i met two extraordinary people (mike and GF) visiting from America, they were very funny and ended up buying me a few beers (YAY) haha... they made me realise that the world is sooo much bigger and exciting than S.A with all there stories they have experienced. i got so lost in their conversation (and the beer) that i almost missed my flight, lol... typical me :p
we took off with S.A.A. heading to Perth, Australia. they served supper and had a lekka chat with one of the air hostesses in the -what u call it?- kitchen area, which was very cool... then crashed and slept like a friken champ! i had both window seats to myself =D
First comment, yay! Hey blogging is cool. Just enjoy sharing your Grahamness whenever your feel like it and the world will be a bit better for it. Personally I'm too reserved (or sick in the head!) to stick everything up online but hopefully YMMV. Enjoy Oz! Lohan (@lohanj)
