Life in the city


It has been just over two weeks since we came back from Kgautswane. The travelling and all the new experiences took their toll and the first few days went by just recovering from it. We have been processing our feelings and the overall experiences by writing, talking and thinking. During week 8 we met with one of our teachers, Katri Korkalainen, who was visiting South Africa. We gave her a grand tour around our house as well as updated her concerning our project.

We visited the Canadian embassy couple of times to watch the Winter Olympics (icehockey). There we met some very friendly and interesting people and also had some new points of view on our project. This Sunday we were invited to a braai in Johannesburg. It was hosted by one of our classmates’ contact in a beautiful farm. The sun was shining the whole day from a cloudless sky. We sat by the pool, drank some vine and enjoyed ourselves. It was an amazing experience and we are all very greatful for it.

Last week we got an office at the Meraka Institute. It has made our lives a bit easier due to internet access. At our place we have got only two USB modems, which has made it difficult to work together and gather information.
