The Big Irony

My roommate just got a bunch of money stolen from her room. I think it was my host mom who stole it. The same host mom who tells me how all “African” blacks are liars, cheats and theives and how the coloureds are so much more proper (the term coloureds refer to mulattoes, allowed to get an education and more upwardly mobile under the apartheid regime).

How ironic.

Anyway, sucks for Anna but she is taking it as just a lesson for herself. I guess it just shows me once again the light and dark shades of Africa. Its about halfway through my trip and the time really has passed very quickly. Hopefully I will be able to relax the rest of the way through and distance myself from the students in the group a bit (too much drama).
