Day 2: 16 Hour Flights...YIKES!

This flight has taken forever and a day!!! Seriously! I'm in Port Elizabeth right now. The flight to Joburg took almost 15 hours! Ridic. And what did I do the whole time??? Watch movies and sleep. LOL. Let's see I saw Green Hornet, Spud the movie (South African Movie- HILLARIOUS), Rando and Just go with it. Spent a great deal laughing on the plane, I know people kept looking at me like okay, can you shut up now?LOL. Oh well. The flight to Port Elizabeth took an hr and a half. I wish I could have explored Joburg, but it's cool, just two weeks and I'll be there =)

So far, I've been surprised by the racial make up of South Africa. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting to see, but apart from the white, and black, I've also seen what appears to be Latinos and South Asians. I'm pretty sure the people I saw weren't Latino, but they kinda looked like they could be. For the most part, I wasnt expecting any diversity of any kind, just white and black, and oh yea, so far I've seen mostly white, especially in this airport- Port Elizabeth. I'm guessing its a predomninately white area.

Oh yea forgot to mention while going to Joburg, a flight attendant asked if I wanted red wine, I was like come again?? LOL. So drinking age doesnt matter on the plane I suppose, or else she thought I was of age. Oh well, either way I felt fancy drinking my red wine and watching my oh so funny movie. =D

Day 1: Well hello there!

Currently at JFK airport. SOOOO EXCITED! I met a white South African girl on the bus to the airport. Turns out she's been out of the country for 6 months on a international service/ mission project. She was in Mexico for 2 and a half months, then Dominican republic for a month and a half and then Haiti for a week and a half. The whole program was for 5 months, but she stayed a month extra in the United States- in New York with a friend. I was like whoooaa! That's cool. She just graduated high school so this was her year off, or she was taking a year off. I'm not sure which it was. But we found out we're on the same flight going to Johannesburg and surprisingly are sitting next to each other too. LOL it's crazy. She's been telling me some interesting things bout South Africa though, in particular Grahamstown. It's a nice learning experience, and of course even better that I'm not by myself bored =)
