Shark Cage Diving

This is possibly the greatest thrill that you will ever experience. Just imagine pulling up on the boat in 'Shark Alley', the open stretch of water between the mainland and Dyer Island off Gansbaai, South Africa referred to as the White Shark Diving capital of the world. The wonderful thing about shark diving in Gansbaai is that you only have to take a 20 minute boat ride to Dyer Island. In the winter time we can even see sharks before the shark chum is dropped into the water and it is clear ...

... little bit and the area my grandparents live by the beach. Our guide, Dina, began by giving us this really delicious Afrikans doughnut like thing that is bread dropped into hot oil then soaked in syrup. I have realized that many of you probably don't understand what an Afrikans person is.

Walking around the City

... of their dodgy lockers, the receptionist warned me not to take any valuables with me. Great I thought!!! I just wanted to find an internet café and use my laptop.

So I was not in the best of mood with Durban but I must say as soon as I hit the streets and mixed with all the locals, all those bad feelings went away. It just felt great to be walking around with the streets absolutely packed. It very much felt like I was the only white person there - I loved it. It is ...

Amatikulu (and 22!)

... clinic if necessary. Ok, so everyone had different experiences and mine was definitely not what I was expecting. First off, the program advises us to wear long skirts while we are in the rural areas, because it is culturally appropriate. For the most part I think that this is accurate, so I showed up wearing this skirt I bought at a flea market in Durban for less than a quarter and the t-shirt I had worn the day before-looking my ...

Savoring My Last Month in South Africa

... Last Saturday I decided to rent a car just for the day to take in several sights here in Durban which I hadn't seen before as they aren't very accessible by public transportation. Thami joined me after lunch, and we headed to the Durban Botanic Gardens, established in 1849 as an experimental station for tropical crops. The Ernest Thorp Orchid House, named after an early curator, gained renown as the first ...
