I went to church today. It was raining, so one of the B&B employees let me borrow her umbrella. She is so sweet. The church was about a 15 minute walk away. It was a predominately Indian congregation, and they were very friendly. They sing most of the same songs that we sing at church at home. I was surprised at how similar it was. I think I might visit a bunch of different places while I'm here, at least to start. The society is so segregated (kind of like the US) -- so I want to make sure I am exposing myself to all the diversity here. It's easy to just hang around the Indians, because they are the group that has been the most accepting thus far. It's interesting how much race colors one's experience in South Africa. I wonder if those who visit the US have similar experiences?
Next weekend I'm going to Jo'Burg to visit the aparthied museum, Soweto, and Pretoria. It will be nice to see a different city.
Durban's Diwalli festival is October 14&15. Prof. Govender said that he would take me. They have commercials for it on TV -- it looks like it will be lots of fun :)
Other than that, I don't have much else to report! My computer keeps shutting down unexpectedly :( So I'm bringing it to Jo'Burg because apparently they have a mac store there! :) Hopefully I can get it fixed or at least turn it in to the shop over the weekend!
Tomorrow I meet my supervisor at work... wish me luck :)
