One More Thing...

So on my way through the Johannesburg Airport, I encountered this little scenario:


No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you... that IS the airport security singing and jamming to an old South African gospel tune. Isn't that awesome?! I had heard that ppl in South Africa will break into song and dance at random places (in the train, at the bus stop, at school, at work, etc) but I had never witnessed it happen. I loved it! It's like living in a musical! hahaha

The guy that came out of a door on the far right told me to put away the camera when he noticed I was filming so I was only able to capture that little bit of video. After all, this WAS a security checkpoint at an international airport, lol.

Just goes to show that it's true what they say about the African spirit: it's is indominable and resilient and full of life. Just lovely.

Pics from the Trip

Here are some pictures from the trip... enjoy!

Great friends, great food... does life get any better than this?

The Skulls and Bones door... Hello? Mr. Jesuit? Anyone home?

Mis amiguitas! Chilling at the Yale campus. Don't they fit right in? My vagabond shoes straying right through the very heart of it: New York, New York!!!

Traveling Scarf made it to Johannesburg!

That's all for now... I will be uploading some more on facebook as soon as I can.

By Popular Demand

So here's an updated view of my bedroom after a few purchases (mainly the closet, the bed, the hamper, and the bedspread)...

Although it looks nothing close to the finished product I'm aiming for, it's headed in the right direction and it's looking way more like a bedroom :)


And just for kicks, here's a view of the kitchen... now a little more organized and with a few more dishes than the last time you saw it:


So that's it for the much needed update...
Next up, a post about the trip :D
