1) First of all, internet has totally been limited. It's been pretty much a week since I last had internet, and let me just let everyone know -- it can be done. South Africa is just provided many other things to do such as hang out, visit malls. performitive Zulu tourist traps, amazing scenery, and laying around in front of a fan until the humid heat passes. It's been awesome.
2) About a week ago, we were going to go to a Lion Park, but ended up at a waterfall. I wore sandals. But anyways I hiked a shit ton and it was awesome. I will put up pictures if I can figure out how to get it all together. It's just been crazy because the plugs are different, the power is different. Anyways, this point will be to commemorate that I did awesome physical excersize.
3) South Africa is such an interesting place. What left of apartheid is so obvious to me. It makes me really sad. I've just been talking with a bunch of people and everyone is saying that same thing. We are still waiting for it to disappear, but it'll never be gone. I'm just learning a lot here though. Everyone is so nice and kind of it's just been wonderful so far. I've3 just been spending all my time with other international students, but I'm ready to let go. It's been too comfortable. I'm getting frustrated.
4) I'm here because I need to get out of my comfort zone. I want to step out. I want to move on. I just still feel kind of stuck. I just don't understand white people I think. God, I hope it's not offensive. I don't mean it that way. I just miss home so fucking much. I've been avoiding the computer because of this. I miss home and Taiwanese food and my Mama and family. Oh well, you know. At least Beyonce is loved here. I will always have her. Haha.
5) I picked my classes today. I'm pretty excited to start. To get moving. So far it's been tourist attraction and tourist attraction. Despite the currency exchange in my favor, I feel guilty for spending. It's pretty unlike me. But I did buy some new shoes. You all knew it was going to happen. I will try to get my pictures together tonight. I like to learn. Awesome. Til next time. Cheers!
