Okay, so change of plans. It rained until about 6pm here today, so we decided to do something inside. We went to see a South African movie today, Spud, and yes, I know, it's a potato. Interesting film, had nothing to do with the vegetable. Great to see a film produced here, even if it was mostly about white people.
I found myself surprised by the fact that the majority of the movies playing were American. I didn't come to South Africa to see an American movie! All of the music played around here is what we hear in the US. That makes me sad in a way, it's like the US has conquered the world. And I have to ask, what makes us so great?
Tonight was my first experience salsa dancing. I have officially decided that I'm on a mission to learn the style before I leave here. Two hours of watching people salsa was enough inspiration; I must do it. Oh, and heading out with locals was incredibly - I've been here three days and I'm already making fast friends.
Time for sleep, up early to head into "town" (Cape Town center) to catch some festival activity. More soon.
