Fear and Loathing in South Africa
Jun 17th
South Africa was indeed not ready for the World Cup. I’m not sure how the media is portraying things, but it has been a mess.
That being said, I’m taking it in stride and keeping good spirits. I’m also managing to have a great time!
Internet is hard to come by, as are other such commodities as reliable electricity and heat, petrol, food, and water, depending on the location.
We have a car and did some interesting exploring between games, and there may be more of that to come.
Our last game in Joburg is tomorrow, and then we have a week before our last two games in Durban.
Not sure yet where or what we will be getting into after the US vs Slovenia game tomorrow, but I’m sure it will be a challenging adventure.
Since Internet has been hard to come by, updates will probably come sparsely, and pictures will come after I get back. (I have no computer with me, only my phone)
Until next time, I’ll try to be tweeting as thoughts come to mind, but they may get queued for upload until I get connected, so hopefully that will explain any confusing delays.
Ayuba!
(I still don’t really know what that means)
World Cup!
Jun 10th
Leaving Friday for the Cup, can’t wait. Watch Twitter for updates, although with this post I am also testing an iPhone app to update this blog directly.
