it's been so long

I apologize for not updating in such a while-my camera was in the possession of one of my South African friends who I didn't see for a few weeks. It's back now, but it's about time for my internet megabytes to run out, so once I purchase more I'll be updating again with photos.
I've sort of settled into a routine here in Cape Town. This week it was disrupted by the minibus strike (you can read about that here ). Since I don't have a car and the UCT shuttle doesn't go everywhere in Cape Town, I really rely on the minibuses to get around. They're sketchy, packed and probably dangerous, but they take me where I need to go pretty quickly. It's so weird to walk around and not hear the calls of "WYNBERG! WYNBERG! CEEYEP TOWN! CEEYEP TOWN" while walking down the street. Fortunately the strike is supposed to end tomorrow, so all transportation will soon resume.

In other words, while waiting for the UCT bus (the "jammie," which I think is sort of a silly name) I got my photo snapped by a UCT fashion blogger:
Anyone notice the Cameron Johnston (Johnston because she was still Johnston when she gave it to me) belt buckle?
People dress so well at UCT. Maybe it's just the weather, but I have yet to see Uggs, Tims, sweatpants or running shorts on campus. If you're interested in checking out some of the street style, here's the link to the fashion blog:

Pictures to come soon I swear!
