Hi friends,
I am happy to report that South Africans sure know how to dance and drink their beer, haha. Tonight Asellah, Munya, and I went out to The Barn, a pub and night club on campus. I must say, we had an awesome night! The Barn is a nice bar, with a pool table, outdoor hangout area, and a dance floor. The music was PERFECT. Earlier in the night, the DJ played a lot of "house music", which is kind of like techno but with more bass and rhythm. Then they started to mix in night club music I am used to back home, which was awesome. My sister has been telling me for years that I am rhythmically challenged and not a good dancer, but I still got my groove on tonight. :) I must say though that South Africans have great rhythm and are great dancers.
Alcohol in South Africa is a bit different than back home. I don't recognize many of the brands. About $10 can buy you over 2 liters of draught beer, which I think is pretty good. I kept seeing students buy a crate of beer--yes a full crate. You just go up to the bar and ask for a crate and they give you one (with 12 beers). Mind you, the beer bottles are bigger here--not just the typical size back home. Back home, a standard beer is 12 ounces, here it is 16 ounces. Pretty crazy if you ask me!
Overall, The Barn was a fun time and I will definitely be going back. It is nice that there is a bar on campus since transportation, especially at night, is not easy and can be expensive. :)
For a taste of South African house music, listen to the song Heavenly Sent by Mi Casa (love it!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjL0edwOh_I
Keep dancing,
