I have been in Cape Town for about a week already, but this is my first blog posting. It has been crazy busy already with getting used to our neighborhood and how to get around the city.
I arrived in Cape Town with the rest of the Interstudy group on Monday night, to be greeted by VERY enthusiastic orientation leaders we call 'mentors.' The apartments we live in are just a few minutes away through the dark city streets... it's strange driving on the left side of the road for sure.
The apartments are freeeeeeezing cold because there is no heating in any buildings here apparently. I have my own room with a desk, dresser, wardrobe (not Narnia-like unfortunately), chair, bed, and random artwork. And, I share a living room, kitchen, and bathroom with Ben from Minnesota and Andrew from Villanova. Both pretty lame... haha!
We have already been working on learning local slang from the mentors. One of the phrases is "Fully Bru" which is a SA surfer way of saying, "Totally Bro." Thus, the name of the blog.
