... From here we said goodbye and headed towards Aunty / 'Tannie' Leona. She wasn't home when we got there so decided to check out the local mall, Menlyn. The credit card didn't get too much of a workout, it really needed a cool down from previous days but here I discovered it had a drive in cinema up top! Unfortunately we didn't have enough time for this... but I'm quietly hoping we'll be able to do these before we leave for home.<br><br>Paul's patience started wearing thin after 4 ...

... disappointment though; I would have liked to offer her something of interest, she appeared very tense and unsettled. I also wondered what emotions and thoughts were behind that scowl. On the fourth day I decided to have our first large group session. Up until then I had been working with no more than three people at a time. We were making music regularly and residents were participating and sharing music, personal stories, thoughts and sentiments. Since ...

Arriving in Johannesburg i booked into the hostel were they dropped us off and i stayed there for the three days. Driving into town though, i can say, that Johannesburg is not very inviting. There are electric fences, barbed wire and fortified houses and stores, all of them were like that. Did not make a person feel great about being there... I had no problems but then i only had three days and i didn't really go anywhere ...

... in an elevator heading who knows where with a very friendly young lady who worked in the steers at the airport. So I followed her and steated my self in a corner, freshened up and settled down with a few magazines to pass the time. After an hour or two I figured it would be a good idea to head back to the international departures area of the airport and give myself plenty of time to get lost (",). After dragging my bags for what seemed like ages I finally found ...

... Tanzanian research**s concluded that, "the growing conc**ns about TB in Africa and the knowledge that M. bovis does contribute to the current human epidemic emphasise the importance of integrating vet**inary, medical and wildlife sectors in the investigation and control of this disease." Projects to investigate bovine TB are now und**way in Chad, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Scientists working in the Great** Limpopo Trans Fronti** Cons ...

... too near downtown Jo-burg). My usual internet hotel-sources weren't helpful (I guess NO ONE comes here!). The Jo-burg airport sucks. It took 1 ½ hours to get our luggage at baggage claim. Then we had to get our rental car, which took forever. We got to our hotel at midnight their time (1 am Dubai time) and the area seemed iffy. The hotel was surrounded by huge metal gates, and there were armed-with-rifles security guards walking around. Our room was FREEZING. It was cold ...

... of a stairway garden with the union building garden at the top. Also, we walked through a wildlife refuge. Here we saw different buck, which are South African deer, and several types of birds. These included different duck and crane species. I am not sure when I'll be able to phone everyone so please hang in there. Tomorrow we will be leaving for Malawi in the morning so I'll post again as soon as I can find an internet connection. The journey is still unfolding. More to come.

... would have let board. The flight was good - little turbulence and lots of good movies. I do not relax so well on a plane and did not sleep. I did manage to watch three and a half movies: the Wooden Camera, a South African film about two young boys who find a dead man's guan and video camera; A Good Year, with a very unconvincing performance by Russell Crowe; Marie Antoinette; and half of Driving Lessons, which I would like ...

... getting life organized again. Sounds like my friend Claire is going to Kruger in a couple days which sounds really cool. I'll give her a call today and try to hook up. Bungee was quite the thrill. They had pushed me off before I even knew what was happening, which was a little sad because I had planned to take the leap myself. The freefall was both exhilirating and terrifying, with the worst being the hanging upside down for a minute or ...
