We went to a huge huge mall in Durban. But what is more interesting than that is the way people live in South Africa. I noticed it more in Durban than anywhere else so far. But just the irony in how the communities are set up. Durban is a huge city, filled with hotels, rich people, white people, malls, and then people that work for all the rich people. Driving in Durban you see normal houses in it all,but before you are even 20 minutes outside the city.. it is back to shacks and complete poverty. I just wonder the mind set of the 'haves' in the city. Do they do what they can to help? Do then think ignoring it and living normally is all they can do? Do they have any idea??
And then for a couple of days at the home I have been helping Wim work on the website and get some other organizational things done. Have I found my calling as a secretary?
Some of my new favorite things, the store Mr. Price. Seriously, $3 Canadian for a shirt, and Rooibus tea lotion??
The TV show, 7 de laan.
Making 3-D art.
South African pancakes. (You would swear they are crepes. Just don't tell them that)
and learning how to cook from the ladies on the mountain.
Picture of the day..
Note their (painful) fascination with the hair of a white person, and how one some of the black kids may have an odd resemblance to someone you know. I swear it happens.
Did you know that there is no 'Day Light Savings' in Africa?? How wild is that.
Well my little pancakes, I am only 8 hours away from most of you now.
find joy today,
