Rachel's room somehow miraculously has internet right now because I clicked some strange button on her computer so this is going to be a brief post as I am afraid it will suddenly disapear but I wanted to get some of this down before I forgot it!!
The flight was surprisingly not that bad. I watched 4 movies, including Almost Famous for the 100th time, and Searching for Sugar Man which really got me in the Cape Town spirit. For those of you who have never seen it..WATCH IT. It is one of my favorite documentaries now and Rodriguez(the guy who it is about) is an amazing musician. I watched the sun rise from my plane window and then as we came into Cape Town airspace I was greeted by the amazing mountains surrounding the city which were jaw droppingly grandiose. Once getting here..it has been a complete whirlwind of activity. I have no sense of time or direction and my head is in a cloud/my brain is noodles but I am having an amazing time. Cape Town is the most beautiful city that I have ever witnessed in my life...Table Mountain is constantly in your line of vision and is hUGE. Today we walked around the city center which I am super pumped to explore on my own and then we went to the top of signal hill which overlooks the city. I got some great pictures of the sunset and Lion's Head, Devil's Peak and Table which all sit next to each other. Now we are all planning on going out for dinner/drinks which will be really cool to see..apparently there's a bar with live music which is cool.
I also just found out that the apartment I will be living in is literally above the cell phone story hense why it says the name of my living place is VODACOM(the name of the phone company) on my student ID which I think is hilarious maybe you all won't but oh well. Oh another funny fact...one of the bars we are going to tonight has a special of 1 Rand shots....aka 10 cent shots. And we thought 50 cent night at the Boot was a good deal (Rachel was literally just saying this in the room i'm in so thanks for this Rach)
ALRIGHT I'm leaving so much stuff out but I will post again once I am settled in my apartment and have a life of my own but right now I am in like South African day care/camp hahah
TA-TA for now! -_-
