Michelle & I landed in Johannesburg, South Africa yesterday...it is so gorgeous here... The skies are a beautiful blue, and the soil is red! We're staying with Michelle's family friends - they're awesome! Kim, Linda, Belinda and John. Ha ha, get this - I've got my first cell phone... for emergencies and SMSing only. lol. The best part about it is that it has the Imperial Death March for a ring tone. woo! star wars!
errm, ya! The 28 hours in flight to get over here were worth it. I finished reading Animal Farm (very good - can't believe those pigs!) and Journey to the Centre of the Earth (that's going to satisfy my geo craving for a while). Also picked up The World of Suzie Wong in HK (appropriately!) and we'll see how that turns out. The 3 hr stopover to see my aunts, and 4 airplane meals later (plus cup noodles), I landed in Joburg - it was only 7 degrees out!! But it gets up to the mid 20s in the daytime. The sun sets at 5:30. Crazy! Speaking of which, we're leaving on the tour tomorrow...which means 5:30AM is when we'll have to be out the door. sleepy time! Maybe after some yearbook proofs (joy!)
