C'est la vie

QUOTES TO LIVE BY; To accomplish great things, we must not only dream, but act; It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult; Smile: if you can't lift the corners, let the middle sag; You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Happy b-day to MOI







I had a wonderful B-day here in SA. Thanks to all those that sent me b-day wishes from home muah! I started off the day going to Soweto with a bunch of my roomates. We were curious to see what a township looked like and wanted to check out some of the sites in the town.
I must say it was totally different from J'burg, at least where we lived. There wasn't really much to do there. We went to the Hector Peterson Musuem, did a little shopping for African crafts (in which I did pretty good bargaining for a pair of wooden carved goblets), and visited Nelson Mandela's home in Soweto. That that evening we went to the movies to watch Hotel Rwanda (it just came out here not that long ago). For those of you that have not seen it yet, I recommend that you go see it. It's such an intense movie, you will not leave the theatre feeling the same again. I cried a few time during the movie, but again....that's just me. When I got home my roomates had cooked a b-day dinner, cake, alcohol and all.

Thanks Jen for the necklace, Fred for making dinner, and the rest for a memorable night for my first b-day in SA!
