The vuvuzela's are a requirement at soccer games. My friends claimed their ears were ringing afterwards.

Sagas continue in perseverance and waves. So I messed up a bit with application stuff. My holiday visa expires October 22 and I thought I could keep extending that as long as I could show financial ability. Nope. I should have applied for a temporary residence visa from the beginning. Now I need three more weeks on my visa and I can't get anything less than six months and I need a reason for it at that. So I can change my plane ticket and pack up and go home October 22 or take a letter from The Trauma Centre stating that I am volunteering for six months (and that is just to start the application process).

My car and my colds continue at much the same rate.

Two weeks ago, I went to a cricket game and a soccer game. I have learned a bit about how cricket is played. Fortunately it was the twenty 20 World Cup and so it was a much quicker game than other cricket matches (4 hours). Did you know that one team bats first and than the other team just tries to surpass their score? Once that happens, the game ends.

The soccer game was between a local Cape Town team (Ajax) and a Johannesburg team (Jomo Cosmos).
