Plan for orientation
Today is the start of our three week orientation. It will involve introducing the apprentice (5 Americans, 1 Canadian...and moi) to South Africa, to living in a cross-cultural context, to Pretoria, to community life...and to good food. To that end I've cooked supper for everyone twice: pasta and carbonara sauce on Friday night; roast chicken, roast potatoes and veggies last night (finally got that gravy right!). Coming up: Chinese, Greek...and whatever surprising food anyone else wants to make.
In the next three weeks we'll be visiting Sun City, Soshanguve, the cultural history museum, doing an enneagram test, playing cricket, watching Shaun Pollock's last game at the Wanderers on February 3rd, staying at my parent's house and I'll be taking them around Joburg (any suggestions for what to see?!).
In the meantime I'm attempting to learn how to develop Facebook applications in Drupal, and understanding deconstruction. No pressure!

Another highly recommended is an evening at Cool Runnings (just up the road from us!) where they play Karen Zoid, Kurt Darren and the like all night! just keep in mind that MOST things on the menu are never available and those that are you find yourself wishing weren't.
But we LOVE this place. We LOVE it. Don't diss it, anyone!
PS Just waiting for the go-ahead from Arthur and I'll pop round, Don't want to interupt any orientation type stuff.
Hey, does Karen Zoid ever play live here?
