First Glance

I successfully made it into Johannesburg!

Once at the airport, I was instructed to find my driver who would be holding my name on a placard. There was no such person when I arrived.

So I made my usual smart move. I went with a random man who approached me, offering his taxi services (all the while praying for safety). He turned out to be legit and brought me safely to my lodgings. Hurray!

All of us students are staying in a guesthouse about 4km from the University of Witwatersrand (Wits)(pronounced "Vits" presumably because it's a Dutch name).

...

The next day, I went with a few students to the Johannesburg Zoo! We saw lions, but no tigers, and bears!

This is how jetlag feels.





I just like these two.

Classes begin tomorrow!

Love, ewe're too funny...

I'm so glad you got there safe and sound, and happened to pick a legit taxi driver.

What's our time difference now?

Happy Monday! =)

EWE are the best!

SA is 9 hours ahead of LA. What does that make our difference?
