I have moved!! This new 1 bdrm place is actually quite nice and spacious (pictures to come). I think I'll enjoy being on my own for the next 10 days (I might have to move again on the 19th when the others arrive and then need to share as mentioned in my previous post. This means I should not unpack too too much otherwise the repacking will not be fun.

| The living area with satellite tv and free wifi |
 |
| Looking from the other corner - the range is so cool |
 |
| Looking out into the property next door which is also owned by the same landlord |
 |
| the fridges here are so different! |
 |
| very equipped.. even have a tiny oven to bake things! |
 |
| The bathroom (that's terrible because the drainage sucks.. and it floods after you shower...) |
 |
| the beds - all for me |
 |
| the kitchen comes with all the equipments - including a kettle |
 |
| and this kettle! |
 |
| and i pushed the beds together to become one giant bed =) |
I got my car delivered to me this morning. It's a bright red volkswagen (I forgot the model number, just like how I had forgotten my own phone number). I had to sign quite a bit of paperwork for it and had to fill out my phone number like 4 times. So now I think i've got it (which is helpful).
Just did some reading on South Africa driving tips. As previously mentioned, it's not so much my own driving that I need to worry about. The other drivers on the road is definitely more of a problem. Not a lot of drivers here know what defensive driving means, everyone's quite aggressive. So i definitely have to be extra careful.
I found this website that does a pretty good job on giving tips and general rules of driving.
Driving rules website . This I thought was cool with the use of a red arrow and a green arrow that means different things:
- A flashing red arrow on your left indicates that you may turn if no other traffic is approaching. This arrow must be treated as a yield.
- A steady red or green arrow indicates that you may proceed with caution.
I also had to look up the road signs here as I've noticed that some of them are just different than the ones I'm used to in Canada.
Arrive Alive Road Signs. I like W310 to W 313 where they specified the specific types of animals that might run into you. There are so many that I definitely need to spend more time studying them over.
Anyways, I better start getting ready to head over to Kanya's. More updates later.
Pictures are being uploaded and they'll be up tonight hopefully =)

Is that a digital fridge I see?
It looks like it, but there are a lot of options.. in terms of how cold you can set the freezer part and the refrigerator for.. there's even an option to put it on for "vacation".. not quite sure what letting the fridge go on vacation means ;)
Maybe it just keeps it cool but not cold enough to have real food in, like meat.
