DURBAN!

Hey all! Happy New Year! Hope all is well back in the cold winter of "America". I had an incredible new year in Durban, South Africa. It was my first time leaving Lesotho in 7 months and it was quite a culture shock to experience the very developed sections of South Africa. They have McDonald's, big malls, movie theaters, nice restaurants, highways, and so much more. Durban was great! I spent most of my time just south of Durban on the beach (its summer here). The water was amazing but the surf was pretty strong so I got tired after 20 minutes in the water. I went to an imax movie theater and saw the "new" Batman movie. I ate great food and went to the mall. For New Year's Eve I went to an Indian club in the city and rang in the new year. It was pretty sweet. Its great to be back in Lesotho but it was very sad to leave the ocean. Oh and our room got robbed in Bloemfontein, South Africa and I got my camera, my phone charger, and solio (that I hadn't even paid for yet) stolen. It sucked but that stuff happens. Hope everyone is doing well back in the states. Happy 2009!
