Writing Project – design your perfect house in words. Greg took me up to his place that weekend, and what a place. Sitting halfway up a forested hill was some sort of post-modern experiment in Japanese architecture. Large and white, from a distance it looked like a large set of stacked rectangles with sloped Japanese [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 10 – Herring and Kimchi
So Monday began better than most. Waking up to yet another selection of fruits and cereal for those who didn’t appreciate cheese and chutney sandwiches, and coffee for those hung over. I never thought that I would miss Ricoffee. My parents had instilled in me a type of distain for those who drank it; too [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 9 – Boerewors and Beer
Sunday arrived the way Sundays should, late and smelling of coffee. I, as usual, got up first left my dozing companions for the comfort of the kitchen to breakfast with my aunt and uncle (even though I guess they’re cousin and cousin’s husband.) This became a truly enjoyable ritual during our stay in Jo’burg. We’d [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 8 – Welcome to Johannesburg
The first sounds of the Vuvuzelas in the morning echoed in chorus with the baboons ranting in protest. I had almost forgotten that we were here for the World Cup. The baboons were so pissed off that they decided to raid one of our neighbors condo units, along with some monkey accomplices. They got in [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 7 – Leaving the Bush
I slept in late on Wednesday morning. Partly from being so tired from the night before and partly because I was avoiding Rob and Andrew. After I packed up my stuff last night, I ran into an ex-Zimbabwean named Wayne who had been living in the UK for the last ten years. We had a [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 6 – Storming
We woke up the next day still pretty high from the night before, and decided to calm down with tea and cricket. The highlights from the West Indies South Africa game was on and I used it as a teaching tool to try and explain the game to my American travel mates. Strangely enough they [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 5 – The Pilanesberg
Resurrected, appropriately, on Sunday morning we headed off to discover the great new land that surrounded us. Being in the middle of a wild life preserve larger than Spain makes one think one obvious first thought: how do we get online? It turns out that there are a couple of viciously flakey hot spots around [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 4 – Cape Town, the final day
Saturday morning was a little rough. I woke up at 7, having only gone to bed three hours earlier, and packed, showered and got the car ready. I then went to wake the two who had as much to drink as their non-driving selves wanted the previous evening. Andrew was especially hung-over, and probably still [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 3 – Wine and Poker
We woke up a little later than planed the following day and I slowly mobilized the troops to hit the wine route. Jacqui, who gets up at a time more fitting for a college student than a senior partner in a law firm, gave us some advice on the trip before we hit the road, [...]
Trip to South Africa, Part 2 – Shark Diving
Wednesday started a little later and relaxed, with coffee and a drive into Cape Town on a mission to find “Swimming Costumes” (Bathing Suits) – the one thing we had both failed to bring, and considering the beautiful weather and the idea that we should go cage diving with Great Whites the following day, seemed [...]
