No, seriously -- Kisha was right: There are A LOT of soap operas here. My coworkers suggested some to me. Apparently "Generations" is the most popular, but they don't prefer it because it is not very realistic. It's sort of like a South African "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." They prefer another soap, Isidingo, which they say is a more realistic portrayal of South African life becuase it shows people from all the different socio economic classes. So that's the one that I'm watching right now... 6:30 on SABC3.
Today I finally feel like I'm getting settled. I'm comfortable riding the Myna and walking around the CBD (Central Business District). I know where to pick up groceries. I wrote my first memo at work, and completed my part of the preparations for the roundtable. I'm learning so much about South African law, its development, and its implementation. I'm really enjoying myself.
My law school friend who is also in Durban, Amanda, is meeting me for dinner at a Zulu restaurant tonight. It should be nice -- I haven't had a chance to talk with her yet, so I'm excited to hear about what she's been up to :)
I better get ready... (tummy is grumbling already)... :)
