Just to let people know i've safely arrived in J'Burg incident free. Weather here is actually cooler then Sydney right now and the thunderstorms are pretty massive but apparently occur mostly at night. I wonder how that works.. but yes anyway.
Got a free pickup from a dingy hostel with some really weird people, but fun none the less. It seems like its all over the shop here, we got a high school philsophy lebanese man who grew up in SA, Perth-ian Jew who has contracted malaria and a JBurg cop shot in the neck with a paralysed left arm. There are normal people as well.. but i didnt get around to talking to them.
"a set of jumper cables walks into a bar and says "can i have a drink?, bartender says "sure, as long as you dont start something" -- SA bar joke. ho. ho.
It is kinda scary around here, apparently once it starts getting dark it is strongly recommended that you dont step out on teh streets as you'll likely return with only your knickers on. Makes it hard, cos i wanna do some grocery shoppig and explore, but im know when i come back with my knickers on, i'l be saying to myself, "did i REALLY awnt spaghetti that much?" =) Perhaps that is the way to not be mugged.. go out into town with your knickers on ....
Anyways, today i'm heading off to some kind of dam to do some watersports on a tube, a bit of a pissup and a good old "brille" (SA bbq), with shot-in-the-neck-cop and a few others. Should be a good day before i head off to Graksop to check out the 3rd biggest canyon or smoething.
