Feeling at home

Why do I feel at home in South Africa?

I have asked myself this a million times and analysed it in every possible way. I don't know, but ever since I landed in Durban on 30 December 1993 I have felt at home in this country. Not at home as in I recognise all the habits and traditions in all the ethnic groups, no, it's more on the inside. Like leaves slowly falling to the ground after a windy day, with a mmm... nice to be home, kind of feeling.

Anyway. Tomorrow we are going to Durban for my birthday on Sunday, because for my birthday I need to be by the sea.

We're going home.
