After a week of orientation, I am officially moved into my UCT residence! Because of Cape Town’s climate, residence halls aren’t set up the same as back home. There’s a huge courtyard in the middle of the building, and the apartments are lined up motel-style around the courtyard. Each apartment has four singles, two bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a bathtub), and a kitchen. My room is huge, about the size of a Village B common room, and it has a balcony. Apparently, grilling is really popular, so hopefully we’ll be able to find a cheap grill. It’s a bit of a trek from campus, but a Jammie shuttle runs to lower and upper campus.
This is Michael and I by the art in the tunnel that leads from the rugby fields to upper campus. No surprise who the heroes are.
Friday night we went to Marco's African Place for 'authentic African food and music.' The picture isn't great-but I loved these African dancers. Make learning that a new goal for the semester.
Michael Cameron Ross!!!!!!!!! I love friends finding friends! Miss you both (and sean, of course) berry much.
ReplyDeleteAnd was the food good? :)
ReplyDeleteLu- surprisingly I love ox tail! Though I'm not a fan of 'pap' which I'm told is basically grits. You win some you lose some I suppose.
ReplyDeleteOx tail.. heh heh.. sounds like quite the adventure!
