WHAT U CHOON .....
My name is Cristina Vendeirinho and I was born at the Mary Mount Maternity Home in Johannesburg on May 22nd 1980. I lived in South Hills. I left in '89. Yes, I was nine years old. Never went back. My folks worry about the insecurity. I now live in Leiria. I remember few buildings, streets or names. But I remember the smell, the summer rains, the sunrise and sunset, the calmness and coolness of people, the brys (I don't know how it's written... Never learned Africaans), the space. I had a happy childhood in SA. Sometimes I think if I relate the country to that happiness. I was only a child but I loved it there. Sometimes I want to go back so bad it aches!!!! Do you also feel the calling at times? Is it just me? This eagerness that compels me to return to my roots if only for a few weeks... Big kisses and hugs to all my boets and sis's!!!!!
SA 4 EVER!!!!

WHAT I CHOON...
Well Cristina, thanxs for the comment, as always, its nice to know one more SA out there! I think anyone who has ever set foot in Africa feels its calling, or what ever you want to call it! Think all of us have a different word or expression but in the end it all resumes to the same feeling! Something that says "your home!". We are lank happy that you enjoyed the site as much as we have a lekker time doing it!! Lets ride the rainbow home!! PS...Don´t forget to drop by for another cupper!!
