Tonight I went to a South African session! It was interesting, though I completely forgot to take pictures. It was on the porch of a pretty nice restaurant and everyone in the session was self-taught. Apparently there are no teachers, no Comhaltas branches, no organization with regards to competitions or anything. They just like to sit and play and have fun, and that's cool too! They didn't know what Comhaltas or the Fleadh were but I suppose they wouldn't really know, would they?Thursday, January 19th. Today after class we went to 'Danger Beach,' on the train. The waves were too strong for my liking so I didn't go in but I have pictures of the beach and the train as promised a while back!:
Everyone hangs out of the doors, off the back of the train and in between cars. There are signs that say not to do it but like with many other things here, that is not enforced. I know I have previously explained the train situation... It is ridiculous, no room and people just push all the time to get on or off, they push hard enough to make you stumble. Oh well! It's definitely an experience.
It's interesting with the amount of Irish people in Cape Town that they don't have these kinds of things available to them. But maybe that can change!
Anyway, after the session and dinner were over we went back to Jo'Burg and stayed out with some of the other girls.
