January 28, 2011




On Friday, I desperately wanted to go swimming.  I had the perfect opportunity to go because this was the first day it had not been raining since being here.  I decided to walk to the community pool to swim some laps.  The pool was an Olympic sized pool making the laps seem way longer than at home.  After swimming some laps, I realized it was finally the perfect time to start working on my tan. Laying out always sounds great, but after about 20 minutes of drying off I had had enough.  The sun was so hot that I could not last any longer.  By the time I got back to my house I was fried!  It does not take much laying out here to catch some strong rays!  Later that night our housing parents hosted a Braai (BBQ) for all the international exchange students.  It was cool getting to know students from various countries that we will be spending the next five months with.  After the Braai ended at half past one, some of us decided to go out to the square which is amazing!  It is a square of outside bars and in the middle there is space for people to congregate.  It is convenient going bar to bar.  They also have one bar known as the club.  It is called the drop zone.  We definitely dropped it until 4 am.  Bomb digity!
