7.2.11

I promise this isn't neglect

It is simply trying to kill time between here and Friday, when classes start. This is such an amazing place, but you can only go to the beach and get sunburned so many times before your skin just needs a break. However the past few days have included some fun adventures.
 
Saturday we did the "City Sight Seeing Cape Town" Tour, the Red Bus edition. So basically it's this huge 2 story red bus that drives around the city and drops off/picks up tourists. It's a hop on/hop off kinda deal so we spent our day trying to get more acquainted with our surroundings, but it's still confusing. We spent some time at the Waterfront which was nice, with some really cool arts & crafts but still definitely catered to the international tourists. We also drove up to the cable car station at the base of Table Mountain. We didn't take it up because we're intending to hike it sometime soon (Eric already has). (for pictures from this, see facebook as they're are too many to upload here)

last night we did some fun stuff, we watch South Africa's favorite band: Goldfish at St. Yves Beach Club (for which i was SEVERELY under-dressed). I figured concert at a beach club attire. Nope concert at a beach club attire (with many people definitely 40+ there, it was weird). so there was that AND Eric didn't get carded even though he's only 18 and I did. That definitely wasn't fair. Stupid bouncer. oh well, Eric, Jen and I rocked it anyways. except for the whole getting pushed around by people thing.... yeah that sucked. Next time I go out and decide that I'll stand in the back but STILL get pushed around, I'm breaking toes. also, note the goldfish-shaped disco ball, which i recognized immediately thanks to the late Humphrey Schubert.





got my student ID card today. definitely the funniest/dumbest picture ever. i guess that's what i get for making a face at the camera when i got impatient over sitting there for way longer than it takes to take a picture. i can't tell if it got the beginning or the end of the face i made. probs the beginning.



in other news, Stoycho is coming to visit me over his spring break! i'm extremely excited. 27 days... but it's not like i'm counting.
