• Living abroad for one year

  As ek vir 'n jaar in die buiteland sou woon, dink ek dit sal Suid-Afrika, Kaapstad wees. Die land het 'n aangename klimaat en daar is baie om daar te sien. Die infrastruktuur, in teenstelling met baie Afrika-lande, is baie goed. Suid-Afrika, here I come.

  If I live abroad for a year, I think this would be South Africa, Cape Town. That country has a pleasant climate and there is plenty to see. The infrastructure is, in comparison with other African countries, is very good. South Africa, here I come.

• Cities and countries I have visited

  Ho visitato molte città all'estero, ma sono ancora attratto dalla cultura e dalla storia delle città italiane, Milano, Venezia, Firenze, Roma, Siena, Napoli, Luca, ... . Ci sono molte città italiane che meritano di essere visitate e dove i turisti non arrivano quasi mai.

  I have visited many cities abroad, but am still most drawn to the culture and history of Italian cities, Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Sienna, Naples, Luca, ... . There are plenty of Italian cities worth visiting where hardly any tourists come.

• I wish people knew more about...

  Je vis en Belgique. Beaucoup d'étrangers pensent que la Belgique est un pays francophone, ce qui est faux. Environ 2/3 du pays parle le flamand, qui est une variante du néerlandais. Cela ne veut pas dire qu'on ne se sent pas compris en Belgique, car tout le monde parle généralement une ou deux autres langues que le Flamand.

  I live in Belgium, a lot of foreigners think Belgium is a French-speaking country, this is not correct. About 2/3 of the country speaks Flemish, which is a variant of Dutch. This does not mean that someone coming to Belgium will not be understood, usually, just about everyone speaks one or two other languages besides Flemish.
