Thursday was Heritage Day, a celebration of South Africa as a "rainbow nation" of cultures and ethnicities, so we had no class (although we did Friday, but with only one class of about 200 people on my schedule, no one would miss me...)
So instead I:
1. Ate a leisurely lunch at the Rhodes Memorial Cafe just above UCT's campus
2. Saw District 9 (a great movie - especially interesting since it was set and filmed in South Africa, basing its plot on the concept of apartheid - although not for the faint-of-stomach)
Copyright, TriStar Pictures
3. Got a haircut (so delightful - although a little disconcerting that half the clientele was over the age of 65)
4. Read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol (which I highly recommend - granted it progressed exactly like all his other books)
5. Went to Africa's largest single casino - the Grand West (tackytackytackytacky... but great)
Casino night! We were a little overdressed...
Now it's back to the grind... Happy Monday!
