Ok so yes, I have actually been here for 2 weeks now but I kept putting off blogging because I didn't know what all to say. Alright, lets start with the basics...
I arrived in Joburg on the evening of the Sept 25 and then took a train to Pretoria, and let me tell you, I looked SO ridiculous dragging my 2 giant bags and backpack on and off the train in my post flight zombie-like state. The next morning I went to CMMB's head office for a quick orientation and overview of all their programs then was whisked back to the airport in Joburg (the second go at the train with all my stuff was much better than the first) were I caught a flight to East London. When I arrived in East London I was met by my new host mom and my project manager who then drove me to King William's Town.
Let me tell you about my host family. They are AMAZING. I have a host mom and two sisters and all of them are hilarious and so loving. They had my room all made up and decorated for me and had a delicious dinner waiting for me when I got there. So far things are going great at the homefront. Every day when I come home from work, we start dinner and pretty much just hang out until its time to go to bed. On the weekends we are always going somewhere or doing something so all in all, life is good!
