| Valentine's Week: Prior to the madness of shark diving, last week was filled to the brim. On Monday, I spent all day at school so I could attend the rugby game at night. Rugby is the biggest sport at UWC and draws huge crowds to home games like a college football team might. We arrived early and caught the end of the JV game, before the Varsity Shield match (which I bought the "vest" for, with the slogan "support you boytjies", South African slang for jocks). Apparently, not only is UWC's rugby team a big deal, they are also really good. We creamed a team from Durban 53-5, and managed to figure out some of the rules, pick favorite players (#11), do the wave, and go along with some cheers. Valentine's day was busy because of service and a meeting, so we all went out to celebrate on Friday night at the Bungalow, a fancy beach-side restaurant in Camps Bay. After our Friday classes we rushed home to get all dressed up and cram into shared taxis with other passengers heading downtown. We all got cocktails and pretty delicious dinner for under $15. |
