Addo and Scotia

This week was my first week of classes. On monday I went to Pendla which is a primary school in the New Brighton Township. I helped in Sisi's 2nd year class room. I basically just played with the kids all day. None of them can really understand me though becuase they don't know very much english yet. They all speak Xhoisa (the clicking language) I am trying my best to learn a little bit to tell them good job and be quiet when I am in the class room. I also had a music class and literature class and a political science class. We didn't do much in them this week.
But on friday we went to Addo Elephant park and Scotia game reserve all day. It was alot of fun we got to ride on safari trucks and look at a ton of animals. We also had some delicious meals as well. Kate, Giff and I got seperated from the rest of our group and did the tour with a student from UBC in Vancouver, Canada and a family from switzerland and Israel. It was interesting to say the least. Our tour guide Malcom was great and his brother owns scotia.
Then this saturday some of my roommmates and I took a cab to Seaview to go play with some lion cubs. That was alot of fun too. They were like my kitties at home just alot bigger and I am sure they can actually hurt me.
I cant get any pictures to load on here at the moment because our internet sucks. So if you ask my Mom I think she can send you a link for my facebook album.
