Riaan Cruywagen

Riaan Cruywagen is the most famous and synonymous Afrikaans news anchors in South Africa. Riaan was born on October 5, 1945 in Johannesburg.

Happy Autism Acceptance Day!

This day is a very special day for people on the autism spectrum. For years, many people have called this occasion Autism Awareness Day.

It's personal for me because I have high-functioning autism (and so does Hiroyuki). I enjoy posting anything on Blogspot that comes up in my mind.
