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! 





the other side of Table Mountain 



Devil's Peak









Notes:
South Africans drive on the left hand side of the road
A bottle of wine costs $3
We get to do 60 hours of volunteer work
Cape Town is a very mixed culture. there are many different groups including a large indian/malaysian influence 
a train ticket costs $1
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)
