South Africa

Well I am here in Pretoria, it is very beautiful. I find Pretoria and Johannesburg very modern. In fact I feel like I am in the states. The people here are interesting. All of the men look like Arnold and all the woman look like models. I am in a city of beautiful people.

Unfortunately I will be living with the two girls that I came over with. This is because last semester it was coed but some of the woman complained making them rethink the housing, there for they had little time to rearrange where we would be put. We will be joined by three more, and I think they will be Dutch.
The students that live around us are all Dutch and one American from Philadelphia. I have had quite an entertaining time. Last night I was taken to an Irish pub and then we went to a dance club where everyone looked like they where bobble head dolls. It was soooo funny. They just do not know how to dance in this country.

When I was in Zurich I was mostly freezing and looking at a map, because one of the girls said she would plan the trip into the city, but she had failed and then complain how boring Zurich was..
The Alps where so amazing, in the plane I watched the sun rise over the top of them as we dove down into the worst fog I had ever seen.

The school is so disorganized. Half of the international students are in the computer system and the other half are not. We can not get our student cards till next week, this means I can not used the internet or get on campus or do anything even related to the university. The class schedule still has not come out, and all of the international students are getting very angry with our coordinator. I think that this is what everyone was warning me about. Being patient is the best way to get things done or not doing anything at all.

Sounds beautfiul, wonderful, and confusing...I think I'd fit right in. Hope you make it work and I hope that I can see it for myself in a short time. Remember to watch out for theRapists. Trying' to get in your head and your pants at the same time...bastards. Take care.
