Girls

Met some brilliant girls randomly in a rural village in the middle of the Transkei we had stopped in to stretch our legs on the road trip. My lip ring seems to be quite a talking point and attracts young South Africans to me which is great when one of my missions is to meet as many girls as I can for my documentary project. They were attending school in this village, some of them walking miles to get there from other villages, they were very confident and very keen to be in a film, speaking amazingly clear English. They all had their hair cut short, a requisite of attending this particular school. There were plenty of similarities with Geordie teenage girls talking about boys, being glad of having more opportunities these days and..... High School Musical!
