This is Sesi
She’s one of the awesome locals that make me love South Africa
Always smiling
The fact that she makes you-bloody-beauty coffee definitely adds to the appeal
The fact that it’s Starbuck’s coffee is almost enough for me to start batting for the other team
I gave her one of my CDs
I asked her to email me and let me know which song, if any, is her favourite
I hoped she’d understand the songs sung in my broad Aussie accent OK
And was interested to know if she found them funny
Before I checked out of the hotel where Sesi worked
She came running over to tell me which song she liked best
And I said, but I only gave you the CD 20 minutes ago
I know, she said.
I read the names of the songs on the back of the CD, and I have already decided
Really, I said. Which one?
And in her so cute, and very thick South African accent, she said
“I love Choukolit Uz Bitter Thun Six”
(Translation: Chocolate’s Better Than Sex)
See girls?
We really are the same
All over the world
You’d think there would be a man out there somewhere in this BIG World that can compete with chocolate…right??? Obviously, not. :p
Ah. That DOES make me feel like a kindred spirit. Just wait til she listens to it! Those lyrics are hilarious.
