MASSIVE INFORMATION ATTACK part 1

There is way too much to say.
Due to shennanigans regarding converters or adapters of whatever those magical tools are called that allow me to use my American electrical plugs in the exotic South African outlets, I cannot charge or use any of my electronics. This means no pictures, music, or even computer time for me. I am a slave to the computer lab until further notice.

The Flight (Tuesday, June 24th- Wednesday June 25th):
Was marvelous. I pretty much slept through the whole 18 hours, waking every six hours to be fed remarkably delicious airplane fare. It was too bad I was so drowsy, because the plane had a very posh open bar, which some one my colleagues took advantage of. Hilarity ensued but I missed it because I was fast asleep.

The Hotel Devonshire (Wednesday, June 25th- Friday June 27th) :
For our first two nights in South Africa, the IHRE program stayed in the hotel Devonshire, located in Braamfontein, which is just minutes from the Wits University Campus. The hotel featured an excellent buffet, but a few of my friends found hairs in their sheets, so I would give it an overall negative review. We spent our first days stuck in a conference room being "oriented", which means they repeated everything we had been told at our American orientation, except in South African accents. What I've learned: ATMs are very dangerous places. Do not answer my cell phone on the street. Stoplights are called robots.
