Ons gaan nou braai.
When I arrived in the Netherlands, I was a few days late to join a big braai (like a bbq, but more meaty) for the South Africans in the Netherlands. I thought it looked like a great place to meet other people and make friends.
There was another event planned for spring this year, which had to be deferred due to the corona restrictions.
Luckily it started a conversation and a smaller group of us, all strangers from the Internet, could get together for a braai and a visit with new friends. It turned out that we all had something in common aside from a mutual homeland, and I look forward to getting to know everyone a bit better.
Be kind. Stay safe.
