Black or white

I have two stages when I get drunk. I either get really aggressive, or I love the whole world. Grey is just not my colour. When I emailed my friend in Cape Town the other day I got an answer containing gazillions of links of "must-sees" about game parks, day tours, things to do and see like islands, mountains, penguins, beaches and wine lands. I kinda like the penguins, beaches and wine lands. Possibly combined. Then I had a conversation with Bro today, who unfortunately had talked to a friend who had said "if you're in South Africa you MUST go to the Krugerpark". Conversation: Him: "a friend told me we just have to see the Krugerpark". Me: "well if you need to see the big 5 why don't you visit a zoo?" Him: "yeah that's the same". Me: "yes it is". Before I realized he was being ironic. Well it is the same isn't it? A rhino is a rhino is a rhino. So is a tiger, buffalo, elephant and leopard. Anyway. So this evening was one of those when I felt mellow and in love with the world. Sent an sms to Bro saying if you really, really want it I will come with you to the Krugerpark. I am so going to regret this. First a 6 hour flight to Dubai, staying for 2 nights. Then a 9 hour flight to Cape Town, staying for 15 days. In the middle of all this another domestic flight to see animals which I've already seen in Zürich zoo. And all I wanted was a holiday. I seriously have to consider my drinking habits!

but you can see the penguins in the zoo too, and the vineyards in Western Switzerland, thats all the same too, no?

Very true. All I want is a holiday and to see my friends.

he he, actually I was trying to be facetious. Go to Kruger and see the animals and the landscape and then you'll realise that its nothing like going to the zoo - especially the crappy African animal enclosures at the Zuri zoo

I know you were, and I can probably agree that there is a slight difference, but I still don't really wanna go.
