Do you know what love is? True, pure selfless love?
May I please share my experience with you? I would like to say I love you and ask for a brief moment of your existence. A few years back I was truly, selflessly in love but was unable to tell her. Boyfriends came and went and all the while i waited patiently. Over time my love for her grew and I realised that I loved her so, so much, that I didn’t want to be just another boyfriend after others had gone from sight. So I decided to truly be her friend because just being in her presence was enough for me. A short intimate relationship then nothing was unacceptable. So It became my mission, each day, to help light up her lovely face, if I could make her smile each time I saw her, that was enough for me (almost).
She was about to leave forever, so it was now or never. I was crushed to find she was with another. Now maybe I should have kept quiet, but could not. So finally I let it out, “I love you Tania and have for some time, but don’t worry, I love you enough to let you go, I truly hope you love him and hope he knows how lucky he is”. I started saying goodbye then she asked “when did you know you loved me?”. Well! Would this be an appropriate conversation while she was with someone? Who cares! I was dying to tell her. I reminded her of a time we didn’t see one another for weeks and explained to her that I had left in an attempt to forget about her, to ‘move on’, but 8 weeks later it was clear to me, that was never going to happen and ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ and I missed her so much that if friends is all we can be then so be it, its all I really wanted anyway. Except now she was leaving. “Why didn’t you tell me?” she asked, When I first asked you out, those 2 or so years ago you said you don’t date clients, so if I was to ask again I felt that would be going against your wishes and I couldn’t start our future like that and as far as I know you haven’t changed your policy regarding clients. I probably shouldn’t have but… I have been waiting… and now your leaving and soon I won’t be a client and could hardly wait until after you left and you have no idea how much I love you Tan… (Tears)… “How much Mark?”. Whoa! “you’re with someone, so it doesn’t feel appropriate to say…with every fibre of my being Tan.” but now the flood gates were open, I couldn’t stop telling her of all the signs pointing me in her direction (if I listed them all here it’s unlikely you would believe me), things from before I even met her (no shit!) that I only realized after I had fallen in love with her, but the most profound moment was about 6 months prior to her departure…
That day, I was positively radiating with love, even without her, life seemed grand. All morning, while working in the factory, I was being watched by a pidgin, It wouldn’t go away, it just kept scrutinizing me and no one else. Finally after lunch I asked it “what do you want?” and it immediately turned its head in the direction of Tania’s work. “Is this about her? Fly if this is about her.” And it FLEW! After working a little longer I looked to the bird and (in my mind) said “Fly like my heart does for Tan.” and I don’t care if you believe me or not but it did a huge loop to loop, far more than I ever expected, wow…5 minutes later again “Fly like my heart does for Tan”. and another loop. I couldn’t believe it 3 out of 3. For a short time I wasn’t willing to try again out of fear it wouldn’t fly and ruin my perfect run, but then I said to myself ‘NO! Is this happening or not?’ so once again “Fly like my heart does for Tan” and yes ‘It was happening!”… Shortly afterwards David, a friend at work, came over to help on the machine, I saw him looking up at the bird and I wondered…”Hey Dave, I can make it fly you know” he gave me an inquisitive look “Watch”, I looked to the bird to realize it was half asleep (squatting, eyes half shut). Oh well, here goes nothing, ‘Fly like my heart does for Tan’…And it wiggled itself up and swooped over us, “See!” I said to Dave and went back to work in the hopes he would say something, but didn’t. I don’t know if Dave saw again or not but I requested and the pidgin flew 3 more times till afternoon break, 8 in a row, it never denied me once and I never asked for a 9th, and of cause I had to go see her, and as I walked down the street I ‘commanded’ (for lack of a better word) 2 more birds to fly like my heart does and they did, wow! When I got to her work she had someone with her so I couldn’t say too much, and was still confined by the No client rule…So I waited.
Tania seemed to believe me as I told her about the bird plus many other similar signs leading me to her and she wanted to hear them all, but she was still with another. “Why didn’t you tell me mark?” “You said you don’t date clients so I couldn’t…until now”. She now, for the first time, seemed interested in me but I was too late…”I hope you truly love one another Tan, there’s nothing more beautiful than Selfless Love” “What’s Selfless Love Mark?”.” Other than me wishing you well with another?” I said “I could cite example” and proceeded to make reference to a number of songs and movies which in my opinion express selfless love, then asked “Would you still love your boyfriend if he wanted to leave you?”, she seemed baffled by the question, “Do you love him enough to let him leave even to the point of wishing him well with another, like I do you? Oh no Tan, you need to be able to love him no matter what, not just when he’s with you, otherwise you don’t truly love him at all.” At this point I started to worry, the idea of selfless love seemed lost to her so I went back to telling her how I felt for her and how I hope she too can experience the beauty of selfless love if not for me then for another… I believe I touched her heart that last day but was too late… “…and if you don’t truly love him, and know you never will, you need to find someone you can and you don’t have the right to lead him on until you find better, that would be selfish, not selfless. and he, like everyone, has the God given right to experience Selfless love, and Tania I pray you find true love, you who have given others this experience deserve to experience it too…” I let her know she can always call me… She never did…
A few months later (while driving) I saw her walking along lovingly with a different man than before and I smiled and wished them all the very best. Then slowly at first, then faster my life fell apart…I didn’t want to continue without her…I lost everything… Unfairly dismissed after 8 years of very hard work, I couldn’t even get a reference even though the boss (Tim D******) said he Would send me one (nor did he send me a separation certificate nor a group certificate come tax time). I had no luck finding another job, I couldn’t pay the mortgage, lost my home, my car died, my cat was run over by a hoon, sold everything, lost everything else. I stored all my files, diaries, photos, clothes, food etc. in a couple of lockers at my old work which they found and now its all gone… I, for the first time in my life, have lost EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. and when I needed it I couldn’t bring myself to ask anyone for 5 cents… and have been homeless now for well over a year, just wandering the earth, almost waiting to die, alone…wondering what am I to do ?…But then late last year (2011), as I was able to find better sources of food, shelter and a few dollars here and there (thanks to hard rubbish and returning supermarket trolleys.). I started having renewed hope and the desire to return to society. Then around mid January I started thinking of her again and realized I could feel that way for another. In fact I should be able to love anyone also displaying selfless love, nothing else matters… Now I don’t know how to explain this but I will try.
A few days later (a couple of weeks ago now) I had trouble remembering the conversation we had on her last day, It was like a dream. To the point I went to bed that night saddened in the belief the conversation never happened…that I had imagined the whole thing… that I never told Tania I loved her and basically cried myself to sleep…. When I woke up the entire conversation had been given back to me crystal clear, like it had been re-loaded into my brain, like it was yesterday! I did tell her…It wasn’t a dream… (even a few days later It felt like we just had the conversation a few days before not a few years earlier…that day is still foggy…WTF!…) But wait there’s more…
Now I was never raised to believe in god but what happened next could be nothing less…I started to buzz with love, more and more…I thought I was nearly about to float…for a short time I could see my life up till now and how everything HAS happened for a reason…The failed relationships…changing jobs…I couldn’t believe it…THIS IS GOD…Of that there can be no doubt…It was way greater than me…To the point (I’m disappointed to say) it frightened me…not scared but overwhelmed…and I pulled away… Now I know that was a mistake…I panicked….But I think God is ok with that, he knows he can have that effect…and I believe he will return to give me another chance now that I am aware of his existence…But for now I think he wants me to share my selfless love for her and him with the world…and that pidgin was god letting me know I was ready for a loving relationship with her…and I made the mistake of rejecting god because things didn’t work out with her…by jumping to the conclusion that a relationship was going to happen…I was ready…She was not…May God forgive me…I know better now…and once you know, you can never forget…

The Meaning and Message I Received
Now I’m no preacher but I know God does exists, however a religion he did not indicate. It is my belief that religion is mans ‘best guess’ as to what God wants, that we all have pieces of the puzzle, we just need to bring them together, to broaden our understanding. May be …its time to update the bible to include more modern examples of God, a bible that better suits our times and current experiences, because right now, it seems, most religions assume that all other religions are going to hell, when I believe they are all following (slightly different versions of) the same thing, and that it is only mans interpretation thats getting in the way. Not God. For now I’m focusing on love because that was the biggest of all my experiences.
Love shouldn’t be a secret. To keep it would be selfish. Your love is for others; share it with all whom need it. If you love them, set them free. If you are rejected, move on, it wasn’t meant to be, your true love awaits, and you deserve better. Patience is a virtue. Love takes time. But don’t wait too long. I shouldn’t of passed up other opportunities. If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.
At first I thought the bird could see my love for her radiating like an aura and was captivated by its beauty I believe it was God letting me know I was emotionally ready for a truly loving relationship.
The fact that it worked in front of another proves the message wasn’t only meant for me. I believe I should have asked her out that day, God had given me permission to ask her again and maybe her friend was there to help, so Tan couldn’t just say no.
A public confession of love perhaps…
The truth is always better than not knowing. Take a chance, choice gives us true freedom.
Love is not; Jealous, rude, disrespectful, hate, lust, greed, hurt, pride, sexual etc.
If you are having difficulty expressing selfless love, try loosing hate first, because without hate love can prevail. From a position of pure love, anyone else displaying it is beautiful…Looks and money don’t mean a thing.
Love is; respect, compassion, understanding, generous etc. Without asking anything in return – selfless… If you give your love selflessly, your soul is saved. If you show another how to express true love, so is theirs. If you show them how to show others…Everybody wins. It’s the Domino effect. Who’s next…
I lost more important things than material possessions, Love, faith, hope, even the will to live, and never had to. No one but you can take those beautiful gifts away. Hateful people will try to bring the good down, while Good people try to lift everyone up. (Including the bad). Most people seem to think if they do no harm they are a good person (e.g. Thou shall not steal etc.) WRONG ! That only makes you nutral… In order to be a good person you must do good, otherwise the bad will prevail if the ‘good’ do nothing. The same with love and hate. Haters like to share their hate (misery likes company), So if you know love, you must share it, so that hate can never prevail…

David George’s new novel, Remember the First Time You Fell in Love? is more than just a novel; it’s eight short stories which, since they turn out to be all about the same man, becomes a novel. It is also an invitation: these stories were collected from after-dinner conversations where people told about their first love – and also, in the process, what love means to them. So it’s also an enquiry: is there one thing we can call “true love” or are there only many different kinds of love? Is one better than the other? Read the book and then send your story to firstloves@westnet.com.au – and who knows, it may appear in the next book in the series?

I am a junior in high school. During summer school I met a guy that was going to be a senior. We talked and as time passed we became really close. We went to every football game because he loves football and I enjoy watching it. He had a girlfriend so I always brought a friend along so I wouldn’t be the third wheel. After a while I started noticing that she wouldn’t go to the games anymore. It turned out that he had broken up with her. Our school football team made it to the championship and he and I went to the game. After the game I confessed that I had feelings for him. He was shocked but said that he also had feelings for me too. After that we hung out alot more. We were almost inseparable. People thought we were together but we weren’t. It is towards the end of the school year and nothing has happened between us. He asked another girl to prom and never shuts up about this girl he likes. What I don’t get is why he’s telling me about this girl yet he doesn’t ask her out and he’s always with me. I am literally pushing him to go out with this girl but he says no, he rather hang with me. Why is he always talking about this girl then????

He first crossed my eye when I was twelve. We were both in band and played the clarinet, he was a year older than I was. This wasn’t much like love at first sight, it was more of love at second sight. The first time he ever talked to me was when we were all waiting to get our uniforms fitted, I was waiting next to my friend Alyssa and he came over and said, “Hey Alyssa, What’s your name?” and so I introduced myself. He introduced himself as Sam, tall and thin, the body of a runner. He didn’t really catch my attention at first until one day when I was sitting all alone (as I usually did) he came and started talking to me, about our common interests like running, swimming, The Beatles. He was perfect to me. From that moment on everyday was like magic, we started talking a lot and hanging out at lunch time, telling each other everything and relating to the same stories. He was my best friend. Everything seemed to have a significance and every coincidence seemed to be a sign. Our birthdays are on the same month, the month we ran our first 15k together. I remember he sat next to me on the bus and started to bump me on the shoulder. He got first place that year out of the 400 people running the race. The day came when he had to go to high school and leave me behind for another year of middle school. When this realization hit me I assumed eighth grade would be the worst year of my life. During that summer we started to text each other everyday for five to six hours, we never ran out of things to talk about. I remember making a promise to myself saying that he would be my first boyfriend, and my first kiss. He’d never had a girlfriend before or even kissed anyone either. When eighth started I felt as if the school were empty without him there and my heart ached every single day i didn’t see him. That year was the year of rumors. As I talked to him one day he informed me that he liked a girl named Jessica and that he was going to ask her out, I felt heartbroken and devastated. That was the first night ever that I cried for anyone. I wanted to make sure that is what he wanted and even though I was in love and wanted the best for him, I didn’t want to lose him. I told Sam that I liked him two times and got nothing but silence out of it, I guess he was too caught up with this Jessica character. This is when I decided to move on to something else. I found another great guy who I liked, his name was Austin. Things with Austin were great, we became the best of friends, but I never felt the way I used to feel with Sam. One day, I get an unexpected text message from Sam saying that he heard I was playing a solo at a concert and that he would go and watch… That made my heart fall to the ground. HE WAS GOING TO COME TO MY CONCERT! The day came and a sudden feeling of fear and anxiety hit me. I didn’t want to face Sam after telling him that I liked him TWO FREAKING TIMES. But he came, we talked, I played the solo, and he said he loved the song. The day later, my friend Alyssa tells me about rumors that a girl was spreading around about Sam and I being I a weird relationship. I really didn’t know what that meant and still don’t to this day. I told him about it just in case someone told him something, I didn’t want him to think that I was the one who made that up. His answer was, “But we ARE in a weird relationship”. Again, I have no clue what that meant. Ninth grade approached and I was two weeks late to my first high school year. I had already been swimming competitively for a couple years and I joined the Swim Team and made it on Varsity, where Sam was. The first day I went to practice I could feel all eyes on me, his eyes on me. The next couple of days were very very awkward. We started to talk again after a while and he said Jessica left the school and she didn’t believe long distance relationships worked, well I didn’t either back then. I made a couple of friends, Emaan, Marissa, Emma, and Lynette from swim and my friends from MS Monica, Laleh, Rheiana and Marina. After a while, all of them eventually found out about Sam.
One of the many days we used to text, he told me to hang out with him at lunch time and become a part of his ‘group’. That plan only lasted about two days until Emaan got annoyed and posted a comment of facebook: “I hate it when girls act so different and annoying around the person they like”. I knew this was directed to me and so did Sam, so I talked to him about it and he basically told me that what she meant was that I act annoying when I am around him. That was when my defensive side came out, I told him that I didn’t like him again because there was no point in it since I knew nothing was ever going to happen, his response was, “That is because I thought you didn’t want a boyfriend”. After that he told me that if he had to go out with anyone, it would be me. Later on that year a girl named Emma started to like him and, well, she showed it, alright. A meet day came, and Emma planned on asking Sam out. When I heard of this my jaw fully dropped and my heart broke into a million pieces, because I was scared he’d say ‘yes’. I watched her go up to him and start to talk inches away from his face. That is when I felt my eyes begin to water, I knew I couldn’t do that to myself so I looked at him and walked away. Another one of my really good friends, Angelica, saw me and there was nothing else but to tell her my whole story, and so I did. The news later came to me that Sam turned Emma down because he liked girls as athletic and determined as he is. Around that same time I was informed that I was moving back to Spain, where I originally came from. The moment I heard this my mind drifted straight towards Sam. “What?!” I thought, “I can’t leave now, not when good things are about to happen”. But there was no going back. Everyone always told me to move on, but I don’t know how to, those are probably the hardest words to achieve when in love with someone for great, memorable years. I have too realized that one becomes blinded by love and only sees what the eye wants to see, not a spice of reality. Up to this day, I am still hopeful that both Sam and I will have the courage to tell each other how we feel. I will never forget my first love. And I will keep that promise that I’ve kept all through the years. I will always love Sam and I will never give up on him, because true love waits until the time is right. We have to be patient and wait for each other because i know we will be together, someday, beyond the ‘stars’. I will wait for forever.

I’ve had a very screwd up life when I was younger. My father desserted the family leaving my mother with 8 children in a house with 2 bedrooms. I was failing school. Liking this boy for years i was obsessed, the problem was i was shy and so was he. I used to self-harm and horrible other things I did to myself. But now he has saved me, everything I have suffered all the pain. being with him makes it all worth it, worth all of it. It took him 5 years.

I first met him when I was 9 yrs old, didnt quiet like him then so much but the more we talked I fell for him. 4 years and its been a secret I have never told anyone -ever! He;s got these other 2 bestfriends they are friends of mine too. i was told by bestfriend (guy1); that he likes me had has liked me for a long time and that guy 2 also likes me.–i cant understand why, I am a shy distraught, messed up little girl with massive life problems that you dont want to get involved in. They are all very rich and brought up in good families- and I would be an embarasment to be around.

Things get confusing afterwards as I hear from guy2 that guy1 and that the boy I’ve liked for years both like me.–I could not believe it! He liked me!! But then so did both of his bestfriends!!! I’ve stop meeting up with the 3 of them and would lie saying im sick, I just dont want to face awkwardness. Then, chocolates, flowers and ‘get well soon’ cards arrived at my front door. My mum could not stop laughing just reading them and eating my chocolates! Funny as I was not sick! I remember her saying that I just need to marry one of them and I would never need to worry about paying bills -LOL.

The boy that I liked was the richest among them them all, I didnt know back then but he lives in a castle in Austria!!! It was like a fairy tale story and he was my prince. He was showing a lot of signs that showed he liked me; he would put his arm around me, long lasting hugs, stare at me alot and would talk to me almost everyday all-of-a-sudden. he started to attend daily mass because i was there and meet up with me after school. He didnt know that I liked him yet.

It mainly started when guy1 his bestfriend tried to ask me to go out with him on Facebook?!! I sadly rejected him, it was hard as we were friends for so long but i didnt like him and his bestfriend is the boy i like.i told guy1 who it was that i liked and im sorry. And the boy i liked was abit angry with me at this moment because of some silly misunderstandimg, which was a lie guy1 told him to get him angry at me. He also has my Facebook password and as the reads the whole conversation with guy1 which involes me addmiting to loving him and revealing that what he has told him was a lie and used it to get me!! ahhh it was crazy!

The next time we meet up to go up town and chill out, he holds my hand infront of both of them he tells me it was a sign to tell them to “back off she’s my girl”. Later on he tells me how he really feels that he loves me and i say that i love him too.

I’ve never loved a person so much before, i never knew i had the capacity to a man so much after my father had left. He’s been helping my family so much and its shocking how he does not care what sort of background I come from.

Just yesterday we’ve had our first kiss goodbye before he left for the holiday to Austria.

.missing him so much it hurts..

I never thought of sharing this story with anyone in the world.But maybe now’s the time when I should express what I really feel like being in love with someone, whom I can only dream of but never get.
I am a little different from all my friends.I am shy, introvert,a nerd according to my friends and most probably I do not enjoy company.I like to be let alone all the time.I am 17 years old now.
I do not have an official love story to say.Its just that he & I met through one of my close friends.We study in the same class, same school but I haven’t noticed him until the day we met.We didn’t talk, we just had a brief eye contact.After that day we three used to return from school together. We almost reside in the same area.We had more than fun, we chatted, we laughed, for a short time they were becoming my best friends. And then one fine day, I started to realise that I was falling for him. At school, he used to stare at me sometime, did some things which would draw my attention, laughed loud so that I can look at him, always find some reason to stand next to me. At one of my friend’s birthday,as a part of ”dare” of the ”Truth & Dare” game, he said in front of everyone, ”Will you marry me?”.
Everyone can thought it as a joke, but it was so romantic for me.I couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that one sentence. I used to smile at me, whenever I remembered it.Maybe we both started to love each other. Our birthdays were next to each other, as in mine was 1st June and his 2nd June, same year.
And then the worst thing happen at school. Rumours spread out in the class that He loves me. Now ”rumour” is one thing that we dont like at all.True to say,maybe we were enjoying those rumours at inside to let know each other that we do love, but outside we had to show that we are very irritated. Then I had to stop talking with him, to draw the class’ attention. This continued for two and half years.Those times , how I was living, its hard to describe.It was much painful, because I had no one, not a single one to say all these.
Now I’m 17 years old. This is my last year at school.We draw the same attention towards each other, but we dont talk in real. Even I think thrice before commenting on his statuses on Facebook.We travel in the same bus yet we dont talk. I’m kind of used to that gesture. I’m a lot different right now. And I try to forget him. Maybe I cannot ever do that.I will have to carry on this whole of my life.
I have heard enough that ”true love is once in a lifetime”. Though I know, it might be him, yet I paray myself (cos’ I’m an atheist) that he cannot be The One. I can never ever say to him that ”I love you”. The girl who’s gonna marry him shall be very lucky.But I do wish him all the very best in life. I have nothing else to say.

I just want to start out with saying this is not a romantic sappy love story you see on the big screen or read in books. This is real life.
Freshman year was a blur, but of the many things I’ve forgotten, one thing I couldn’t forget was a special boy. I was that sweet little girl that believed in true love more than anything and wanted to save my first kiss for someone I loved. He was always in love with me since day one, he’d tell me. He sat in front of me in my world history class and not a day went by that he didn’t get in trouble for flirting with me. I didn’t want to admit it, but I really liked him. I never told him because I was afraid of rejection and I was afraid of what my friends would think. My advice to anyone who is in this situation, if your friends are real they will accept who you choose to be with. So time went by and we grew apart. He had a few girlfriends and I was waiting, determined to let him know how I felt. But every time I had a perfect chance, I blew it bu putting him in the friend zone… again. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I definitely have commitment issues. So I let time go by let my feelings slip away.
Sophomore year, everything changed. But most of all, I changed. The first night I hooked up with a random boy was the night when I realized that I was in love with someone else. I had thought these feelings were long gone, but here they came again when I was with someone that didn’t mean a thing to me. Right then I had the chance, and I blew it. I had the perfect opportunity to be with him, us both being single finally, and I didn’t take it. To this day I still don’t understand why I didn’t. After a while we grew closer again and I was prepared to not slip it up this time, and out of no where he had a new girlfriend. This one was not like the others. She actually meant something to him. He’d tell me that he finally thought he found the one, that he was so in love with her. I couldn’t bare it. And that just made me want him more. Everything changed when one night I hooked up with one of his close friends, an effort to make him jealous. Little did I know how well it would work. We were talking the next day after school about a lot of things. “Remember the girl I used to be? I miss her.” I told him and he answered with a simple “You’ll always be that girl for me. Nothing can change the way I see you.” He always knew what to say to make my heart stop. And at that moment, I didn’t care if I’d make a fool of myself, telling a guy with a girlfriend that I loved him. It didn’t matter anymore, I just needed to let it out. So I did. I told him that I was sorry for everything, sorry for taking so long to realize. I told him how I felt and started to walk away. He turned me around and brought me up to his lips and said that he never thought he’d hear those words come out of my mouth, and kissed me so passionately I couldn’t remember where I was afterwords. That was the first kiss that ever meant something to me in my entire life. Every single time he kissed me was like the first one, to this day. The moral of this story? Don’t waste time on other people when you know there is only one out there that will make you feel the way I felt. Good luck and I hope you find the love you’re looking for.

The morning started like many others during this part of the year in Cape Town, South Africa:
Blue skies, bright sun and warm weather.
I was waiting for my assignment in the office, not suspecting that this day would change my life forever.
Like every other day, Mike, the owner of Cape Sunshine Tours personally briefs his guides before they set off for the day. With a smile and a word of encouragement, Mike hands out the itinerary for today:
“Here you go, I have a mixed tour for you today. English and German. Only 7 people, so it won´t be too tough”
Peter looks at his itinerary and plots the best route for his pickup. There is nothing worse than not arriving on time especially when you are collecting German tourists. If you say 08h15, then you´d better be there at 08h15 and not 08h20. Even better when you arrive at 08h10, but rest assured that even if you get there early, the Germans will be standing in front waiting for you.
“Hey, at least there are no Brazilians today. Remember that group that Dave and myself had a couple of weeks ago? Man was that a challenge. You got to have hair on your teeth to handle a bunch of Brazilians on tour. They have no concept of being on time, ½ hour late for their pickup, drank too much, talked too loud but boy……………….looking back we have to admit that it was one of the most enjoyable tours we have done!”
“Ok guys, enough talk” says Mike.
“Let´s go have some fun. Show these people what our beautiful City has to offer.
Remember………..it´s their holiday”

Early commute into the city is never fun. Stuck in peak time traffic you either listen to the radio or look at your fellow commuters enclosed in their bubbles.
The only difference between you and the other sheep is:
You work where other people make holiday.
Cape Town is rightly called one of the most beautiful cities in the world. There are beautiful landscapes, stretching from the restless Atlantic Ocean to the rustic Winelands, the inner city filled with Cape Dutch architecture and small suburbs like the Bo-Kaap.
And best of all: the friendly people you find in the City.

Ok, here we go! Time to put your game face on!
These people are here on holiday. They want to be entertained, give them a day that they will never forget.

“Good morning, I am here to collect Mr and Mrs Schmidt for their City Tour.”
“Sit down, we will call their room”
“Bloody Germans…….why are they not on time?”
“Ok, this looks like them. Not bad, the old man has got himself a young one. Good on you old man”
As they come closer I break into my normal routine:
“Good morning, My name is Peter and I will be your tour guide today”
I look closer at the woman and suddenly it feels surreal. My body is talking to the couple, but my mind feels detached from my body. I realize that my body is continuing the conversation, but I am on the outside looking on.
Everything slows down as I take her in:
Short, funky blond hair.
Glasses that seem to have a personality of their own.
A baseball cap perched on that hair.
And a smile that goes forever!
Zoom! Zap!
Suddenly I am back in my body and I continue my introduction:
“You are joining me on a City Tour today”

…………………………….this is going to be a day to remember
