Tuesday night I went to an Indian restaurant in City Centre with some folks from Jubilee. It was this massive place right next to the parliament building, an area of town that I hadn't seen yet. The architecture was really pretty, I'm not sure which influence that is from (British, Dutch, etc..) I already knew that I loved Indian food and was pondering what to get (besides Naan of course, I knew I'd be getting that!). I was recommended a dish called "Bunny chow", which is actually a South African meal. I haven't really had too many things that are uniquely South African yet, so I decided I'd better go with that. No, I didn't actually eat bunnies, I'm not entirely sure why it's called that. They take a loaf of bread and hollow the inside out and fill it with curry goodness--chicken and potatoes and some veggies. It was pretty spicy, but thankfully I am starting to be able to enjoy hotter foods these days. Along with garlic naan, I was royally full after eating a third of the meal. I just enjoyed the leftovers for lunch now. It was so good and authentic; I'll be eating there again before I leave!
Last night I went to a Lifegroup (the small groups at Jubilee) on UCT campus. Even though it was only a few months ago that I was doing the dorm thing, being back in a "res" felt all nostalgic to me! KK, the leader, signed me in as a guest just like we did back at Oak hall, and so many things were similar...it was weird to think that now that will be a memory of me after 2 1\2 years in Oak!
It's hot hot hot here, already more so than when I arrived. I've been hearing reports back home of how cold, snowy, and icy it's been...I will try to send some warmth your way! Missing everyone back home and everything familiar; not in a sense that I wish I was back there, but that I wish I could bring you all here!
