So the first couple of days have been a little hectic, but
hectic in a good way. Wednesday was the first day of orientation and I met all
the other international students. Here is quite a number of Germans, Dutch’s
and other Europeans, few Americans, one Canadian – and ME! The only Dane! This
first day started at 8:00 o’clock, and ended at around 16:00. We had a lot of
administrative information, and a whole lecture in safety which made everybody
a little paranoid ;). After all of this me and two other girls decided to go
and grap a beer, and we went to this little place called Bohemia, which seems
quite popular around here.

Thursday was as well a long day starting at 8:00 with a lot
of information about different language courses and culture shock etc., and in
the evening 310 international students was picked up by busses at the
university and droven to a winefarm called Spiers 10 km away where we had an
AMAZING african dinner with all kinds of food from vegies and vegestables to game
meet such as impala, kudu and wilderbeest, also chicken, beef, boer worses was served along with a lot
of different cakes for desserts! If I remember correctly there was 8 different
”booths” with different food. It was really incredible. Furthermore there was some
african dancing, drumming and singing in between ”disco” music and ”normal/western”
dancing and disco lights. After this awesome dinner some of us ended up at
Bohemia again, and I was only back home at 03:00!
Today, friday, I woke up to my first taste of the raining
season!!! My first days have been very warm and the sun has been shining from a
blue sky. Yesterday it was upto 27 degrees! The nights are still cold though.
So today it has been raining almost none stop for the whole day, the streets
are filled with water and I have been soaked twice today.
Tomorrow I am going to Cape Town and I will stay in Cape
Town for the weekend with some of the other international students.
See ya ;)
