South Africa: Left for 8 hours then down for 9
This entry is to be expected, I've only been meaning to write it for a week.
I'm just going to divide it into nice organized sections so it's easy to read. Well… and easy to ignore, if you choose not to follow my adventures, though I can't see why you wouldn't I haven't posted anything since April after all. ^^
South Africa, well, Durban, South Africa is completely different from Canada. It's not that I didn't expect it to be or anything it was more the fact that it kind of just shocked me a bit.
1)All White people live in gated communities in almost completely white areas
2)We and everyone else in our neighbourhood has Black maids. It's quite uncomfortable..
3)Body Image is everything!
4)In my exchange students group it is required to know everyone's complete wardrobe and comment when they are wearing a new top.
5)Everyone wears the same clothes, owns the same clothes, or has tried on the same clothes.
6)No one drinks milk, not even in tea.
7)Peanut Butter is just something you keep in your pantry.
8)School starts at 7:30 and finishes at 2:30
9)Uniforms are not to be wore incorrectly.
10)Vegetables seem non-existent in some families.
11)White Bread... mutli-grain hasn't been invented yet.
12)Partying and clubbing are something every high school student does at least once a week.
13)The definition of friend is "someone who you can talk about clothes, boyfriends and sports with"
14)Rugby is life.
15)Hockey is field hockey and not ice hockey and is played on astroturf not ice.
Scratch the nice organized sections bit, I'm not going to write the pile of stuff I was originally going to write. Though I will post some more South Africa stuff in the next few days. But I have pictures!! [Clicky to see the pictures.]
Usharka Water Park
Rugby at Maritzburg
Simbaya, where we saw African Footprint
Cow?
A South African Sunset
I bought Harry Potter in Johannesburg so I've obviously read it, eons ago it seems now. I will comment on it I just don't have the energy to do so now. Waking up at 6:00 is tiring... Though I will provide this amusing picture of me at the Frankfurt Airport wearing my Hufflepuff robe and some of my Harry Potter collection. [Clicky to see the picture.]
T-shirt Design I made for the trip. Take a Peek:
