Eyethu

AMAZING day of work.  Coaches braai with only half the coaches showing up = LOTS of food.  We went to this really cool place in Zwide that is a meat market in front, but around back there is a picnic area with brick ovens and braais so you can cook the meat you buy in the shop.  The food was so good and we sang and danced and hung out.  It was a great way to spend 6 hours of my day. 

After the braai we went down the road to the big club in the townships: Eyethu.  I have always wanted to go, but never have before somehow.  Ended up having a great time.  The place is really big and cool.  There is an indoor area with tables and tvs and a pool table and an outdoor area with tables and a dance floor and a big bar and a nice dj stand.  There are only bathroom stalls without doors though which is a little distressing - oh well...TIA I guess.

Chika beat me in pool, but then I started befriending people and met some cool guys.  It was a good night.
