transito

I've had a busy couple of days. Having dinners, breakfasts and drinks and saying so longs etc.

Spent some time at Sandton City this morning. I had to drop off a visa application. Made my way to Pretoria and decided I enjoyed Cape Town's public transport way better than here. It's a much less colorful affair and I got the impression nobody really knew where they were going.

In a strange betting incident on the train I lost some money. I am still not exactly sure of what happened and how. But one minute I was reading and the next someone was grabbing forty bucks (I stuffed most of my cash in my pants pockets) from my wallet and asking me to show him the seven of spades. It was most certainly not a mugging or robbery (well...).

I was ignored by loads of taxis in Pretoria before finally getting picked up by one of those unfriendly but kind types of drivers and dropped of in Brooklyn.

Wednesday I fly to Nairobi.
