Greetings From South Africa

Cape Town – so far, so good…

Late last night, after an almost endless flight, we arrived in Cape Town, South Africa.

We’re here to do a Videojournalism seminar with the Media Academy here .

We met them a few years ago  in Brussels and they’re taking the VJ concept to South Africa.

For those of you in town (or who want to jump on a plane today!), we’ll be holding the seminar at The Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town. Starts 9:30 Monday, so you still have time!

All the information is here, at www.media-academy.co.za

Why it is .za and not .sa, I cannot tell you.  I suppose someone else already got .sa, abut I can’t imagine who.  Samoa, maybe?

In any event, did not get to bed until around 2am, and started off this morning with a live interview on SAFM, South Africa’s equivalent of BBC Radio 4, or so I am told.

It was one of those chatty weekend talk shows, so you can’t say stuff like ‘don’t move the f$%^ing camera’, and they ask you questions like ‘what kind of tree are you’.

But for the moment, I am sitting on the veranda of the Grace Bay Hotel overlooking the yacht harbor and working on the free WiFi. So far, so good.
