Not in Cape Town, just yet
So many crazy stuff has already happened and I have not even reached Cape Town. From the moment I left the LAX terminal until getting off the plane at HOTlanta(always wanted to say that), it seemed pretty normal. But after that, it was just odd or scary or even both. When I was waiting to board for Dakar, I first noticed I was the only non-white. …
