Holiday

Greetings, well as you may heard I said that I will write about my trip to South Africa. For me it seemed pretty interesting place to live in. I decided to go to this place called Durban witch apparently is at the very east side of South Africa. I went for a hotel called Southern Sun North Beach Durban Hotel. The hotel was really particularly nice. I didn't really expect that much from it because the pictures on the internet didn't really look very special. But yeah like I said it was very lovely and you just felt so calm when you relaxed on the sofas or the beds. The hotel had five star as well.

 

And not only that I had a brilliant view from the balcony. You just felt that you could see the whole beach.

After a good night sleep I was on my way to get myself some breakfast. The breakfast was lovely. you could choose whatever you want. I always like to take big amounts of breakfast. Like baguettes, fruits, corn flakes with yoghurt and all sourth of things.  The pools was just amazing to just cool off. And even taking a swim on the beach was also very nice. The temperature here is very hot like like 30C so it's no point to take your jacket with you I tell you that. The best thing tho is the dinner table. Because I was just amazed about how the tables and the chairs looked, and I really wonder how they could manage to build the whole room. It really felt that you were rich.

 

Anyway let's get to the point. Today is the 16 of June. Wich means it's one of South Africans public holidays. In 1975 a protest started to begin in Africans schools. They say that the students were treated very badly. In 1976 more and more people gather together to stop this. This day is very special for them because they showed that they didn't want any harm just peace.

You can celebrate this day by eating some food that you might don't eat every day, but instead you are making it by yourself. Like making your own pizza, your own ice cream for example. And you can even try to guess what item you are smelling while having your eyes closed. Also try different types of fruit.

Yeah that's pretty much it for the youth day celebration. I mean I am sure that many other people celebrate it in a different way. We have a thing in Sweden tho called Midsommar afton. Wich is in June as well. Well on that day many Swedish people dresses up in some weird costumes and dances

around in some south of mids sommar pole. While dancing you sing some different songs and holding hands. Sounds a bit silly but nevermind. After the dance you often celebrate with some cake.
