So other than that day I taught at a Secondary school, I have been in the Science Centre. You know, even though you show the incoming kids the same exhibit its kinda cool, once you are paired up with a good (i.e. funny) partner. Also, you know that one person you meet when you in a new country that looks out for you and you always look for them; I've found one.
The kids come between 9-10am and most leave before 2pm, so those are the most hectic couple of hours followed by some down time where I can have lunch, then explore the exhibits on my own, just keeping an eye on anybody there.
Some of the science communicators there have taken to me and always ask me quite periodically 'how I am enjoying SA' and tell me how to keep safe and places to go and stuff... Its cool, like a little community. I quite enjoy their company... AND they are so nice.
They have been teaching me some Zulu:
Sawubona- Good day
Yebo- when you acknowledge someone has said sawubona
Anjani- How are you
Decorna- I'm good
Well my other intern partner has gone off to Swaziland for the weekend, so I got the room to myself and been to work alone on Friday. This had an effect that I din't expect, people who only said hi had long conversations with me, I spoke alot more, and I remembered alot more names.. weird...
So my roomate is not here, my landlord is gone, Its me and the cat, Jess, for the weekend. Will prob hit a mall and hopefully a zoo (hopefully)
