Its nearly five years later that I am doing content for this blog. When getting my pictures taking at such a crucial time of my life. Not knowing where that journey will take me. But from a desire for a radical change. Thus time has finally come. Time to goodbye. But the picture does not show the apprehension of the unknown.

Departed Cape Town International Airport on the 17 October 2018. Arrived in China the next day. I received the worst welcome when I was pulled over by Chinese customs, probably using me as a training guinea pig. They removed everything from my bag, checked shoes ask all these “smuggler” questions. Worst of al was when they got tpo my food. My Cremora(milk substitute ) probably reminded them of drugs. So that was analyzed and returned. My sealed pack of muesli weighed more than the indicated weight. To watch the gloved hand sifting through my Muesli still brings a smile to my face today. It was not amusing at the time.

This was my first taste of China. My Supervisor was so worried as there where was no indication of me at the arrival hall. Finally got through security and immigration in into the arrivals hall. Then my China experience began. Got in the taxi on the way to the school.
