today was our first day off since we arrived. we slept in late, watched a movie in bed and then scraped ourselves from the warmth of our rooms to brave our first foot-bound adventure. we took a beautiful walk through the snow-laden paths of our surrounding town ... down the hill from our school, through the small restaurant district,
discovered a frozen dam and wondered its 3km circumference, popped into the GS25 convenience store and found a festive little french-styled coffee house called the old musica club.
R84 a cup. but i don't want to talk about it.
on the way home, we explored small lanes and paths, discovering things that were wonderful, and some things that were ... well, just plain strange.
inner-city driving range: four-floors overlooking a gauze bottom which slopes downwards - so that all balls roll back into a trough and are ready to be whacked out again. smart hey?
the blue ocean ship-shaped restaurant (Fathead sugar-coats his opinion thereof).
all around the dam's promenade, they've placed gym stations. i'm not kidding.
and people actually use these for a quick work out. they walk for a few km's around dam, stop and do 10 bicep curls, then resume their stroll as if it's completely normal behaviour.
odd, odd, odd.
