kadri's blog, vol. 1 ;o)

So, just a few days left and I'll be in South Africa! Still can't believe it...
I thought I'd start this blog to keep you all updated about my adventures during the next 3 months. Hopefully I'll have enough time to write about my experiences.

Please, feel free to post your comments at any time! You can write your comments in English, Estonian, French... ;o)
For Estonians - I'm really sorry for writing the blog in English.. I probably won't have time to write it in both English and Estonian.

Right now I'm really starting to feel nervous about my trip.. There are still some things I'm concerned about...like some practical issues.. I'm not really sure whether someone will actually pick me up at the airport.. I've heard there's no public transport from the airport to Cape Town. And I still have no clue about accommodation. I guess I'll stay in a hostel for the first couple of days.
My major concern is safety.. I really hope I'll be ok.

Today I got some South African money - the rand. It's really cool... normally, you'd expect to have portraits of some important men on the notes, but the rand has animals instead - rhinos, tigers etc. Nice!

In case my explanations have been too brief or vague and some of you are still wondering what I will be doing in South Africa, here are some links which will hopefully explain more:
