I'm in Johannesburg....

Soooo

The plane ride from London was Looooooooooooooonggggggggg, more than 10 hours, and I was excited when I finally got off the plane. But the Immigration line was soooo long too and then I couldnt find my luggage and all that and it was just completely stressful. Finally made it out of the airport and family of a friend took us to his house. We were unsuccessful in contacting our landlord, so the family took us for breakfast and then we stayed there for a bit and cleaned up a little until we heard from the Landlord.

So we finally got into contact with the Landlord and went to see our new place.... This place is very nice, but ah meann wheyssssss (Think West Moorings)... The two of us share a bedroom and a bath, and we share the living area, kitchen, etc with the landlord who lives there toooo. There's a pooool, but its winter and cold so ah cant really use it. There is a cat who owns the house, the cat goes wherever he pleases, on my bed, in my suitcase, on the kitchen counter, etc.. THATS WHY I BOUGHT LYSOL!!!!!

The house is also right around the corner from a bar/restaurant district (think ariapita avenue or st. James in Trini) and a mall , so I will never be too far from what I need. :D

I am contemplating getting a phone, its cheap, but I really don't think I need it, cuz I know the people who abroad aint gonna call me... soooooooo

I am looking to get internet, but its posing a problem.... But I will soon.

Ohh yea, the time difference in Joburg is 5 hrs ahead of Canada and Trini, so keep that in mind.

I started Work yesterday. wooooot
This week is just orientation. Got my ID badge which can open doors and stuff. Met a whole lot of people whose name I wont remember. It looks like people have a hard time saying my name, say it with me KEVONNE, its not that hard compared to all of your names. And they start off talking to each other in English and end up in a different language, after all they have 12 official languages..... (Trinidad has one language...... maybe we need to get some more)
Work ppl seem really nice, they pick us up and drop us home, until we become more familiar with the area and can guarantee our safety...

Havent really come across anything unsafe yet ot experienced any culture shock.
To me, its like I'm in Trini, there's no major differences yet...

But we will see especially at WORLD CUP TIME

Ohhh yea, and when I say I'm from Trini, here's the responses I get:
1. So you follow cricket
2. Trini has a lot of beautiful guys/girls there
3. Which part of Africa is that
Brrrrrr.......

Logging out now, update you soon
