So.... this weekend was an adventure to say the least. I was invited by some girls from my dorm to go with them on their usual weekend to Durban. Durban is the big city in the province that i am in, and it is next the beach. If it makes sense, i live in a city the equivalent of Lansing and Durban is the equivalent of Detroit... but way nicer and with the Indian Ocean.
It was a really cool weekend because for the first time since i have been here i didn't feel like a tourist but i did stuff that normal kids would do here on a regular weekend. We went to go visit some of their friends at the other campus of my university. It was a much different campus, much hillier and they had monkeys like squirrels there. under cars, behind bushes, in all the trees, i laughed so hard.
We walked around the campus and surrounding areas, drank wine and went to this really
awesome club called Paris. There we saw the two most popular DJs in South Africa. DJ Tira and DJ Chynaman. They were saweeet and i was surprised because i knew most of the songs. We danced all night and i am getting pretty good but i can't keep up with some of these girls, they are amazing. Sunday we did what all college students do on sundays. sit around their dorm room and eat scrambled eggs, it reminded me of freshman year back home. i guess it doesn't matter where in the world you are sundays are for relaxing.
in other news today we had a rowing time trial at the gym down the road on the rowing machines. a lot harder than a thought. We have a race this weekend that i am pretty excited for/nervous. something new every day is my goal. hey and if any of you have any ideas of fun games to play with little kids that don't involve a lot of speaking let me know and if you have anything exciting to tell me in general let me know to. i am loving the emails.
