Mount Frere sounds amazing! I love meat and colloquial spelling so Eat Sum Meat could possibly be my favourite shop on earth! I can’t belive there’s a KFC there! At least the chicken they use is probably real chicken as opposed to whatever wierd re-constituted “meat product” they use over here!.

Send me your address so I can send you some snail mail.

Love

steve

Unjani? I’m been meaning to contact you, saw you left a comment on my page! I’m so jealous of you beeing in Mt. Frere. I hope you are enjyoing it, it is a crazy town I know:) I love your pictures, but I didn’t know there was a gated apartment building there. Where is it situated? I stayed with a local family on top in “Lubacweni” area. my view was pretty much the same as your tho:)
anywyas, i wish you all the best and good luck with your project!!

Sharp sharp sisi!
Marte/ Nolitha :)

It looks much more habitable than we originally imagined and you can live with some electricity outage but 4 days must have been hard.
Look forward to more language lessons!!

love to you both.

FYI: “molo” is “hi” to one person, and “molweni” is “hi” to more than one. Thanks for the comments, peeps! They make me happy.

And there really is a KFC! I thought that existed only in the figment of my photoshop! Does “molo” or “molweni” depend on whether you’re addressing aman or a woman?

ps. i love the photos. the medicine herbs are interesting. i’d love talking with that merchant and learning about those.

I don’t know how I feel abour rat droppings or the electricity outage but at least your place looks pretty live-able from the outside, because honestly I thought you were going to be staying in one of those containers. I can’t wait to hear about all your work you are doing there and endeavors.
