Well, I made it to my "studio" apartment (more like glorified dorm room) in Durban. I don't have internet access on my computer yet because the official landlord is away and his wife doesn't know how to set it up. I set up cell service this morning (it is now 11:30am) and do have internet access on my phone.
I woke up at 5am, after having fallen asleep at 8pm last night, not really sure what to do with myself. I kept busy until 9am, unpacking all of my clothes, reading my guidebook, watching CNN on the teeny tv with 4 channels. Then, I went to the shopping mall around the corner. My main event was grocery shopping, which was much more difficult than usual: my kitchen lacks a stove, oven and freezer. Later today, I'll see if I can figure out how to make it to the heart of the city (I am living in an area called Musgrave/Berea, just north of the main city, full of gated houses and apartment complexes) to pick up my World Cup Tickets.
Point of interest: there is a CINNABON in the shopping center!!
(Also: Durban is home to the largest shopping center in the Southern Hemisphere, Gateway - that is NOT the little mall around the corner.)
