…Today was a day of leisure … I checked out a vineyard at Vergelegen, and tasted some of the wines there … there were so many little grapes , like black pearls …after cleaning with water they were as shiny and beautiful as the skin of our African brothers …ate freshy picked fruit, so sweet …[Translation by Shanghaiist.]

Danwei readers might have seen that she is currently touring South Africa. Chinese language readers will notice we’ve been kind. At least she’s trying.
