We finally moved into our house today!! The outside has some…unique features, such as the huuuge billboard of a deer crying tears of blood asking you not to throw your cigarette butts out of the car window. I’m not sure if there are even deer in Cape Town, but if there were I like to think they wouldn’t be such drama queens. But the inside of the house is perfect. There are 15 American study abroad students living in the house, and Ellen and I are sharing a really spacious room. The house is divided into four sections that each share a kitchen. Ellen and I are on the top floor and it worked out perfectly because we share a wing with Heather and Sophia, our new friends from Bucknell, and Danny is right downstairs. When you walk out of our front door, there is the most incredible view of Table Mountain.
After we moved in we went to the opening of the World Cup Stadium! Two Cape Town teams, Ajax and Santos, were playing. The stadium is right by the waterfront and absolutely gorgeous. The game was fun to watch and the most amazing thing is how excited and proud all the South Africans are to be hosting the World Cup this year. At one point someone started the wave. It is rare to see the wave make it around a stadium one full time. One section always drops the ball. People can’t be trusted. But this wave was unlike any other wave I’ve ever seen. It circled the stadium once, and then went around again, and again, (I was far more interested in the tidal wave than the game at this point) and again. I’m tired of typing “again”—so basically this thing circled the stadium at least 5 times. Fans here are nuts.
