... allocated a race. I got to be black for the day and entered through the appropriate turnstile. Inside the images were graphic and pulled no punches. The reconstruction of solitary confinement cells was excellent and really highlighted the tragic lost years of Nelson Mandela and many more. As you walked through the mood changed rapidly from anger to happiness, despair to hope, by the end you're exhausted mentally and physically (it ...

... the food was not bad and I got my own TV, which is super super. :P At the passport check, there were two lines, one for Africans and South Africans and the other for Other. Man were there a lot of white South Africans/ Africans. . My uncle who picked me up is my grandfathers brothers son. He insatantly recognised me. I totals did not recognise him. MAN IS IT HOT HERE! The ...

... a range of antelope, warthog, jackals and giraffe it now forms part of a government initiative to bring together a host of private game farms to form the Dikoneng Big Five Nature Reserve. So the next time I can be sure to add Rhino and Lion to the list! This little peace of heaven has the ability to bring all my family together and this weekend was no exception. We spent every evening watching the beautiful sunsets and throwing bones ...

... from SFO to Frankford, Germany, I sat next to a 75 year-old woman from Denmark. She has had an interesting life and kept me well entertained. There was also a young guy from Isreal who had been studying in the Bay Areas for the past few years. To stretch our legs we went to the back of the plane and we ended up turning it into a little bar. There was a group of us on the flight that stood in the back taking and drinking for hours! Besides the interesting people you ...

... the shuttle would only take me part of the way to the hotel and then I would have to transfer to a taxi for the remainder of the journey. WTF? A free shuttle is supposed to mean all the way to the hotel! Upon further discussion the driver told me that in fact the "taxi" connecting to the shuttle would not cost anything as both hotels belonged to the same owner and it would amount to an "internal" transfer - for free. Why didn't he tell me that in the ...

... passenger. Thankfully, it was only us three travelers (Sarah and Nathan, also in the Harvard program, are with me) in our line...others weren't so lucky. After acquiring our passes, we grabbed a bite to eat at this little cafe, where we're sitting now. The food is blatantly American. Also, there is a bird right over there. Really.

... gave us a piece of paper. The airport was absolute chaos, there were people crying and arguing with the airline's representatives, as many flights have over booked. We finally made it to the counter only to find out what the little piece of paper meant...Since we actually spent the night "outside" the airport we were not considered passengers-in-transit, and hence our bags were now subject to South African Airport regulations, meaning that the same 40+ pound bags ...

... be stuck in transit over night in ugly Johannesburg to spend my birthday. I tried to make the night the best I could out of it, which entailed a shopping spree at an Airport store (only store open past 8pm), called the family, and had a couple drinks at the hotel bar - where I encountered this crazy S. African tour guide. He took me out to a 'Good Bar' for my b ...

... Luckily, in the days preceding our arrival, there had been some rain, and the creek was still flowing with the leftovers from that rainfall. Arriving at the front of the mountain on the top, we were now at the most challenging part of the hike. There are two sets of a pair of ladders that we must climb down. Each pair of the steel ladders is bolted into the rock at the top, but the rest of the ladders hang freely. (Look at the pictures in the album for this entry to see the top ...
