Margarita Monday's, Touch of Madness Tuesdays, Wild Karaoke Wednesdays, Tiger Tiger Thursdays, and Freak out Friday's. 

While living in a city is great, it really doesn't give you much time to relax. This weekend I get to use my roommates car so I will get to go exploring a bit more. Do some hiking and maybe snorkel with sharks. Last sunday a bunch of us went to the water front and explored the Two Oceans Aquarium. We just got there in time to see the sharks getting fed. 

Also for 50 bucks you can go swimming with them. 

My friends Kristen and Jenny really like sharks. 

On Sunday saw a Boomslang in the very popular Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

And last Friday's wine tour through Stellenbosch.

Another Day, Another Shooting, Another Loaf of Bread

I'm sorry to all for not updating very much this past week or two, but I just experienced a week of South African clubbing, wine drinking, and delicious food eating. Not to mention work every morning. Will update with photos and stories soon.

Beers, Bats, and Battle Star Galactica

Right when this photo was taken an eruption of screams and the sounds of machine guns came from the taxi mall a few blocks away. Today was the day the Cape Town Police where checking all the taxi drivers for their licenses. Unfortunately all the unlicensed drivers where threatening to shoot any licensed driver if they picked up any passengers. They where running with the motto 'if we can't, they can't'. This moment made humans seem like a very evil entity amongst the world. With the bliss full mountains in front of us and the frightened screams behind, Cape Town was surly exposing its excitement. Please remember that the negative things seem to dominate the media and are often the most remembered. With this is mind, the incident that I just told should not be blown out of proportion as there are an infinite of positive factors that make Cape Town a great place. For the readers who are thinking about visiting, in no way would I describe cape town as a violent or scary place. 

Now, apologies for a long awaiting Blog Post. There is not much else to say since I last posted except.... 
Jenny and I have started our project over again, of which, has been successful... so far. Our project is mostly the cause of my busy life. Working 7 days a week does not leave much time to explore, nor blog.
Today a second arctic seal has made its way into MCM to hopefully become healthy. The last seal, Alfred, has unfortunately fell into a worse state than he was before. Kira, the woman taking care of these cute seals, is hoping that the seals will get better now that they have friends.
Kareoke has become a huge hit among the american groupies in cape town. Jenny and I are now trying to bring it to MCM, the aquarium which we work. Alister, the technician, told us that he has the works to pull it off. So hopefully tea club will welcome the new tea time activity.
Last week I attempted to complete my diver certification. I did not complete it; though I did get to dive with seals and watch a southern write whale breach about 50 meters away from the boat. It did that about 4 times....
There is also a delicious treat called a Full House Steak Gatsby. This is a heart attack treat that is filled with chips, steak, fried eggs, and cheese, and is about the size of my thy. This is only one third of just the steak Gatsby. 

VAC played their first soccer game last friday that we lost.
Also I just learned that the last name of the First President of  Zimbabwe was Banana.
