In the spirit of exploring the local culture (something that furniture and squash shopping doesn't quite cover), we made our way to the Orlando Standium in Soweto to experience a Pirates game. Despite the freezing cold, the energy in the stadium was contagious as we watched the Pirates take a 3-1 victory over the TP Mazembe. Our first South African Soccer game: Check.
After three weeks of living at the guest house, house hunting, reviewing leases, signing leases, paying deposits and losing more than a night's sleep, we moved into our own place this weekend! M made sure to have a bed ordered and delivered in time for our first night (we managed to time it perfectly with a huge thunder storm...go figure). We spent the next couple of days picking up the essentials to be able to make it to work in some sort of order come Monday morning.
At the risk of making our lives out to be all fun and games, I thought I'd include some "life" shots. M likes to take these while we're out- apparently I get very excited at random things (giant bumpy squash), and I like to try everything before I buy it.
