Kalk's Bay

Kalk's bay is a beautiful seaside town with white sandy beaches that seem to go on forever. it is also a fishing town and for lunch we ate fresh hoek (think haddock) by the wharf and saw seals playing while we ate lunch. as always, beautiful and sunny here

Africa Day 2

Today was our first full day of orientation here. But unlike Ithaca's it wasn't boring and we traveled to a really cool restaurant to eat some malaysian food, which is really common here. We were taught how to make samosas and then ate a delicious curry dish. 

Being shown how to fold the dough 

 attempting....

she would correct us if we did it poorly 

It took her all of 2 seconds to fold one. it took us 5 minutes.

Frying the samosas!

Afrikaans is like an easier to understand version of German
our neighbors say that they can tell who is an american girl on campus because she will have a large backpack on, a huge water bottle on the side of it and drink beer at a bar (south african girls generally don't drink beer)
