... waiting (he was actually asking what I thought of Obama) and he'll turn out to be our driver.

I was quite intrigued when I realized that no trailer could be added on and that there was a fair bit of luggage outside the van with very little space inside. More people arrived and then it was total confusion for me, everyone got out and changed to get into the little ****** minivan - I tried to follow, was waiting to get in when a few grannies just pretty much push ...

... thinks lying to its customers is ok. Then they made a comment about annoying white passengers and angrily shut the ticket counter window. That was not the first race comment made to us.

In the meantime, Brittany had her own crying fiasco. But it was not Brittany doing the crying. She finally found a man that worked with Ethiopian Airways and when he could not help the situation she told him he was worthless. He turned away with tears in his eyes as a man ...

... drives = massive traffic jams - Woolworth, the local supermarket branch of Marks and Spencer, is still using SO much packaging! - No recycling bins easily accessible (I have 20 empty bottles lying at home, waiting to be recycled... Where? -- yes, wine bottles ;-) - no large scale energy savings campaigns. Interesting article: http://www.ngopulse.org/article/we-must -all-save-electricity I feel there is an urgent need to raise public ...

... 1% Catholic, 6.8% Methodist, 6.7% Dutch Reformed, 3.8% Anglican, 36% other Christian, 1.5% Muslim, 3.7% "other" or unspecified, with a further 15.1% having no religion.  South Africa has the world's 22nd-largest economy by gross domestic product.  It's the world's 32nd-largest country by land area, and 28th-largest by population.  South Africa completely surrounds the country of Lesotho and almost completely ...

Agora, ja em solol africano, pensei em fazer uma revisao do tempo que passei na Inglaterra. Eh bem dificil organizar na cabeca tudo que aconteceu em quase 10 meses por la... De qualquer modo, vou organizar de forma aleatoria e espero que, no final, faca algum sentido. - O tempo como Gaia Essa parte inicial do curso foi, de longe, a mais dificil. Muito trabalho, pouco tempo para fazer coisas pessoais. Talvez o fato de ter sido durante o inverno ingles tenha ajuda, ou melhor ...

... for the country. A few weeks ago, the ANC party leadership changed hands from current president (and Mandela successor) Thabo Mbeki to Jacob Zuma. Though Zuma is likely to become the next South African President, "Madiba" (as Mandela is nicknamed) will continue to play an important role as an elder statesman. After finishing up in Soweto, Keiran took us for a memorable lunch inside his own township, a few km's away ...

... for him - all incredibly nice and excellent service. We entered our 2 rooms from the patio area outside - the weather is very cool here in the morning and evening, but t-shirt weather in the day. Not much heat in 1 of the rooms, bu much better than at the airport hotel. There were 2 other couples staying there our first night, and we all met in the living room for beer and wine before dinner. Very comfortable and Mike is an excellent host. We fed the kids PB&Js and sent ...

... what I would think of as winter clothes. Pretoria looks like an amazing place. There are huge white houses with red tiled roofs, huge trees and ferns and gorgeous flowering plants. Some homes, garages and studios are thatched, which is another something I did not expect in South African European houses. Homes are all gated with strong security fencing and alarms. Gardens are immaculate and landscaping is as well. My cousin explained that having servants is ...

... day. Never one to turn down a glass of wine even if it is 10 15 in the morning I had a field day... 3 winefarms later and it was DEFINITELY time for some food! Friday was the day for seeing Robben Island and getting the cable car to the top of Table Mountain. Robben Island was a real experience and very moving. It takes about 25 minutes on a ferry from the V & A Waterfront and then you are driven around the island before being able to walk through the prison ...
