Chiefs

Last night we went and saw the Kaizer Chiefs play at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.  This is one of SA's best club teams (Chiefs vs Pirates is the big rivalry for the title) playing in one of the World Cup stadiums (and a beautiful stadium at that).  The four interns went along with Dani (the filmmaker) and all the coaches on the City Lads.  We had a great time, though the score was 0-0.  I sat with Chika and Shuffle (my loves!) and got to see some people who I had only seen on TV before.  Soo cool.

My fun continued today.  I turned in all my reports yesterday so I took today off - kinda.  Jess and I went to Greenacres Mall for the whole day.  We just walked around and asked stores for donations for our HCT (HIV Counseling and Testing) tournament that we are hosting November 26th.  I am chairing the media and prize committees so I've been going around begging people for goods, money, airtime, ads in the paper, etc.  It's been fun and awkward.
