Can I be your guyfriend?

So I survived my first weekend in SA and alone to boot. Friday I chillaxed at home; however on both Sat and Sun I went to Cresta, a big mall which had everything from Mac to Aldo to Nine West to tons of restaurants to cinemas to bowling.

Well Sat on hearing that there was a big mall 7 mins away by taking approximately 30 mins away walking I decided to go. Seeing as the weather was good, I decided to walk there. However after walking for more than an hour and a half to arrive I concluded that the person who gave me directions needs a little improvement in their directions giving. So whilst walking for so long I had a couple of gentlemen callers:

Miss where are you from; Miss do you have a phone number; Miss can I call you; Miss I will walk with you part of your way to the mall; Miss can I give you my number; Miss I want to take you out; Miss I want to marry you; Miss I love your accent; Miss lets go on a date; Miss I will pay your taxi fare if you promise to go out with me; Miss are you walking back this way, I will wait right here for you.

So I have concluded that once your name is Kevonne, you will always be followed by random guys asking for a date and your number, EVEN if you don't speak their language and they don't speak English.

When people see me:

1. They think I am a normal black girl from SA who speaks their language

2. They ask me some question in their language

3. I say something in English

4. They start speaking in English (if they know how to)

5. They get confused over my accent and asks lots of questions

Sunday morning I wasn't feeling like going to the zoo again so I decided that this could be a lazy wii playin day.

Plugged in the wii and the wii light did not come on ...MINI HEART ATTACK WITH CONVULSIONS!!!!!!

So on my quest to play wii I went to the mini mall strip (Campus Square) in hopes of getting someone to fix it. No Luck. I returned to Cresta in hopes of finding someone to fix it. No luck. I ended up getting my hair done (Wow, never had my hair canerowed so TIGHT before, OUCH!!). I ended up calling Nintendo to find out what was wrong with my wii. Apparently SA outlets are 220 Volts whilst North American one's are 110V so I need to get a step down transformer to get the Voltage changed and finally play my long lost wiiiiiiiiiii... Can't wait :D

Upon returning home from the mall where I watched the movies "The Backup Plan" and "Iron Man 2" on the 2 days, I settle in with a good movie on tv.. My weekend was Grrrreat!!

Ohh, So back from the mall on Sat and to and from the mall on Sun I took the Koombi. I know I wasnt planning on taking it again, but walking for an hour and a half when it was about to get dark was so unappealing and dangerous. So all I did was ensure the driver spoke English and sit in front so I could direct the driver where I was going and it wasn't that bad.. lol. EXCEPT when I was coming back on Sun evening. I was the last person to get in the Koombi and I told the driver that I was going to Melville, he was like ok. So we are driving and then he says something about Auckland Park (I dint understand what he was saying so I didnt say anything because I'm going to Melville). Then he decided to go to down some strange road. Brrrrr. I was like driver, don't forget I am going to Melville. And he starts arguing in some next language saying that he asked for Auckland Park ( this was translated for me by some passengers in the Koombi). So I'm like ok just give me back my fare and I will take a next taxi, and then he continues in his next language saying something about whats he supposed to do now. I repeat give me back my fare and I will go into a next taxi. I also say that I told you before I got in that I was going to Melville. so with that he turns around and goes the way he's supposed to and drops me off where I say. Lol at least I gave some of the ppl in the taxi something to laugh about cuz I could see that everyone was talking in a language that I couldnt understand and laughing. Just an error in translation.... Sighhhh

Nevertheless, on to a new work week... I can't wait. I'm Energized.
