Today I spent the day with 2 girls from the research department, who agreed to spend some time with me and take me out at the weekends! They are so lovely & kind! Its been wicked to make some friends so I don't feel so isolated!
So today they took me to this massive shopping centre which has an African Arts Market. It was simply just amazing! Unlike anything I have ever seen before. The African people make such beautiful items. There was paintings, jewellery, wooden animals, and animals made from beads. They were absolutely stunning and amazing! Such a good experience of what Africa is really like! Hit home where I was in the world! This country is full of surprises....in a very modern shopping centre that could have easily been anywhere in the UK was this amazing market! (:
They then took me to lunch at a very nice cafe! Everything is so cheap out here compared to sterling! One of the girls was telling me that some tickets for the World Cup were only R200 ..... £20!!!! Crazy compared to those selling for the Olympics in London!
We then went to the cinema to see Bridesmaids. Its a really good film. SO funny :D had us all laughing most of the way through! We got some popcorn & its amazing here!! Come basically unflavoured and you get shakers and add your flavour!! There was salt, salt and vinegar, sweet and butter! Such a good invention .... we definitely need it in the UK!
Tomorrow I'm heading back to the shops and market to see if I can get some souvenirs and gifts for people! Have to make some room in my overweight bag haha (:
Hope everyone is having a good weekend in the rainy UK, its nice & sunny here and warm :D hehe!
