o.k so during the holidays after my trip to mafaking (((*BORING*))) we went to my farm near Dulstroom it was really kool my cousin shot a buck so lots of biltong for uss!!! yum...(biltong is identicaly beef jerkey but with spices and stuff) u cant really compare it to anything else it has a unique addictive tast that all south africans love with a passion..

the farm is very big it not being a agricultural based farm but a game farm with many animals ect... i hardly see any of them cause the farm is so frikken big!!!!

i think the farm in total is 15000 hectores this is a very big guess as i dont know how big that is so if im very wrong by it being to small or big yoops i dont care lol but ja....(ja is afrikaans for yes used abstractly like saying yeah.... as slang by even english teachers use it itspart of the culture i guess)

Some mountains of the farm it doesent really have a start or beginning as to let the animals roam freely there are no fences to border neighboring farms so the animals just roam like in nature hence "Game farm"

k this is 2 photos i took when i went to a fleemarket in sandton more commonly called Rosebank but u guys wont be very accustomed to the culture here basicaly its a 3 story massive parking lot that for a Saturday each month gets converted to a shopping sesation

This a picture to u a brief imagery of what Mafaking is like he he there is nothing all round u for about 600km i took this while driving on the road to my moms house not really a holiday but we did some hunting ect... nothing special it was a week outing of no traffic and hectic pace of life in pta(abrevated pretoria) by the way this is about 8 hour drive form pta

O.k..... My name is Hugo born specifically in cape town South Africa my familoy then moved to pretoria when i was 3yrs old due to a job oppertunity so now i am a pround resident or pretoria... which is like the big residential suburb of people who work in sandton and johannesburg which are the working/commercial capitals of the country

 
I am currently 16yrs of age being a carcassian male (white person not black which most people think South Africans are lol at their stupidity) my father born in holland and my mother in South Africa my dad moved to South Africa for work but then Cape Town to Pretoria .... kinda confusing but anyway...my parents are divoced so i dont live with my dad and he lives in the u.k now still not being able to speak 
english 

My favourite authors include David Gemmil,Trudy Caravan and Garth Nix im really now into reading sci-fi books necromancy,mages ect... my mom says it improves my creative side due to my lack of a great imagination im a very logical inclined person bad or good i dunno but i think it kinda gives you an advantage in life ..... just my point of view.

My favourite music groups would include Metallica,Linkin Park,Mika,3 Doors Down,Creed,Pod and most South Afirican bands ive taken a liking to Afrikaans (South African language of its own part Dutch,German,Belgium) folk humour music its like storytelling but incredibly funny if you have a sense of humor like me jipa....

My favourite t.v shows include War At Home,Prison Break,Heroes,Ultimate survival(Discoverychannel)

Ahh now sport.Sport is something i really do injoy i love Rugby club and school i also swim i do think that being active is a all gain no loose activity and that a healthy mind = healthy body wich is true retrospectfully

ON weekends i like to go to movies with very or kuier with friends(chillout) or used to be a very big PC gamer but not so much anymore im currently in Grade 9 or Standard 7 thats the leveling u get here i dunno how the culture overseas is .

My native language is Both English and Afrikaans equally based more at school as the private school im in www.cornwall.co.za is English inclined even though the majority being 82% of the school is afrikaans. Most of my friends are afrikaans my mother is and my step dad english i think if my parents didnt divorce i would also speak Dutch but anyway bad luck 4 me..

My hobbies include now it being summer here in south africa swimming and club rugby huh the average tempreture being + - 34 degrees peak and usuallyu cold in the morning

kk so whatch out for my holiday updates we have 3 termesters in my school and between each a month holidaycall it summer holiday if u will i dont really care...
