For those of you who have seen the Love Hina Anime series and liked it, then you’re in for a real treat. I have just finished the manga version and I have to say that it is excellent. The Anime has nothing on the manga version. The story of the manga version so is much better. It’s richer and theres a ton more character development.
If I was to rate the manga version out of 10 I’d give it a 10. After reading the manga version, the anime version seems so sparse in it’s story and characters.

Arrived right on time at SA airport. I was really relieved to finally get off the plane.
Took a bit of a while to get my luggage. It seemed like it was the last one to be taken off the plane. I was a bit worried about customs. I brought a lot of things from Bern but it didn’t exceed R3000. Ivan wanted to go through the red side because he thought we had to declare the chocolates we brought. Luckily we didn’t.
After finally getting out of the airport and in the car on the way home, I was hoping for a nice quick trip home. Not a chance. There was an accident on Bosmansdam Road and we spent an hour in traffic. It took us about 2 hours to get from the airport to home. When we FINALLY got home I was looking forward to just relaxing for a while. But of course when I got home and unpacked some stuff I couldn’t get to sleep. So I spent some time finding all my presents from Bern.
At about 11:00 am we went to visit my sister and her new baby. I was really excited to finally be able to meet my niece for the first time. It was everything and more than what I was hoping it would be. She was cuter and more beautiful than the pics that my sister sent me.

Man the flight was looooooong. Even though it was at night from 5pm to 5 am the next morning, I found it really hard to sleep for more than an hour. And even then I only slept for about 3 hours in total.
The flight from Zurich to Frankfurt was nice and short. About 45 minutes. The Frankfurt airport is huge. It’s like a shopping mall. It makes our airport look like a 7/11.
The food on the plane isn’t as bad as people say it is. Or maybe my taste in food just isn’t all that refined.
On the flight to Bern I did get a little airsick. But only at the end of the flight because I took airsick tablets and they wore off about 2 or 3 hours before the end of the flight. But on the way back from Bern I didn’t get airsick at all. I did take the tablets again just to be sure though.
Again, man it was a long flight. I would never like to do that again. 12 hours. But I suppose it’s all a learning experience.

Today was really warm. I could actually go outside without wearing my thermal long johns and a jacket. The whole day was like that.
Most of the day was spent cleaning the apartment and packing. Trying to figure out if I am over the weight limit or not. After packing everything in, the bag weighs 18,5 kg. So even if the scale is a little off, I’m hoping that it isn’t off by too much.
Starting to get really excited about getting home. I just wish it didn’t take a whole day to get back.

Gonna do some final shopping today. I’m not really looking for anything specific, just anything that catches my eye really.
I did a dry run of packing all my stuff to see how much it weighed. And after getting mostly everything in it only weighs 16 kg. That can’t be right, can it? So I tried weighing myself and then again while holding my bag and it still says that it weighs 16kg. I should only have about 2 kg of weight to work with, according to how much it weighed when I came here, so I don’t know whats going on.
