Day 19 - September 17, 2006

Again, since we have no class today, I got to sleep in until 10:30am. Then, we all got up, had breakfast, and went in search of working internet to do some work for our final paper/presentation. Around 12pm, we went to the grocery store, and I picked up some halal mince pot pies for lunch. Others ordered in halal pizza for delivery.

At 2pm, Steve came and picked us up to take us to Green Point market, which is a large market near the waterfront that is only operational on Sundays. I ended up spending way too much money on gifts for friends and myself. What was interesting about the market was that nearly all of the vendors were from other African countries and hardly any from South Africa. I talked to several vendors who were from countries like Sudan, Malawi and Uganda. Steve came to pick us up again around 4:30pm to take us back to Ivydene.

I worked on my paper for a little bit until dinner. Katherine made lasagne and a pineapple upside down cake for dessert, which was quite nice. The rest of the night was spent working on my paper on the Vryheidsfront Plus party and my group presentation on community redevelopment. After a few hours, I went to bed.
