SOUTH AFRICA | Tuesday, 4 January 2011 | Views [665] | Comments [5]

so i decided to blog a bit again while i'm here in south africa though my blogging could never be as epically awesome again as it was back in the day of no facebook and such with http://www.dianadoesasia.blogspot.com . (yes, i am self-promoting my old blog) but for the 2 people or so out there that may read this, i'll give it my best! so when the immigration officer at the airport hit on me, that shoulda been my first indication that men in cape town would be like the ones in italy. as in creepy n nutso.  have decided to go buy some long ankle-grazing dresses asap. otherwise, i didn't know what to expect here as i did zero research and have zero knowledge about south africa but for some reason i still found it surprising to hear almost no english being spoken. i arrived this morning after a harrowing 27 hr journey (or something like including a nice extended stay in heathrow airport). i went grocery shopping twice (you know how i do), got lost a bit cus i decided to go for a stroll without a map, got some dude that followed me around's phone numba, watched a bit of a multilingual south african soap opera... and that's about it! will try to be more exciting soon!

omg.. i realize it may not be such a dangerous thing at first... but you gotta make sure peeps don't rape you, esp the ones that follow you around!

hahaha i will most certainly be reading your blog. i suggest you learn the line "i dont have a phone but you can write your number down for me if you reeeaaaaly want" works every time for the nutsos that like to follow you around and then think you're totally unto them. just make sure it is on silent so it doesnt ring while you lie.
