Durban is (G)RAND!

Hey guys! I'm here in Durban, SA which is about 10 hours south of where I was last week. We're still having a great time on our trip. We have been seeing lots of interesting things. On Tuesday we went to a Zulu Tribe setting and watched native dancing and saw how these people still live in primitive huts and use simple tools to live. It was very eye opening and very different from our US culture. We also took a tour of the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation) to see how media plays a roll in this country. Being a broadcast journalism major, this was especially cool for me.

Tomorrow we are going to a street market to get some African artifacts and then some of us might go skydiving! Hopefully we can pull that off because it would be really fun! I'll keep you all updated at a later time because I have limited internet access here and my time is just about up!

Talk to you later,

Shane
