Babalwa and I at the Brai. She taught me how to do this South African dance. I tried to upload the video of it but it takes too long.
Rugby game! Stormers vs. Bulls. I was rooting for the Stormers (who are in dark blue) because I was told that they were the better team. Unfortunately, they lost in a really close game. This is a picture of the crazy part of the game when they throw in the ball and each team lifts somebody up in the air to catch it. I was obsessed with this part.

Sarah, Renee and I at the Armchair Lounge in Observatory for the Hot Water/Freshly Ground concert. Hot Water opened. They were amazing and crazy at the same time. So entertaining though! Freshly Ground is apparently a very famous South African band. They were playing at this tiny spot because the Armchair Lounge was where their band took off. Basically, I got to be two feet from them (literally) due to their nostalgia. They were also awesome. Both of these bands were better in concert than on CD but I still suggest looking them up on ITunes, if they are even there. They are great! I have all of their cds (we each bought a different one and took turns copying them onto our computers - yes we are bad) so if anybody is interested in listening to them, hit me up when I get back!

I am also incredibly amused when rugby players get lifted by their shorts to catch the ball. I always wonder two things...
a) doesn't that give the liftee a GIANT wedgie
b) wouldn't it just be easier to stay on the ground
Then I remember that nothing about rugby makes sense and that they like touching each other....
Those who don't know what they are talking about should not talk about rugby (that would be my beautiful wife ;) )
That is called a line out. The timing of the lifting is a set play so that the team who controls the lineout (i.e. is throwing it in) can have an advantage for the ball. If everyone stayed on the ground there would not be any advantage for the team who did not cause the ball to go out of bounds.
