Well, after 24 hours of traveling from San Francisco to DC to Johannesburg, I have finally arrived in South Africa! The flight over here was actually pretty uneventful; I read Freakonomics on the flight to DC (I had already heard a lot of the stories from the book but figured i should read the whole thing). Upon arriving in DC i discovered that i was assigned a center seat even though i reserved an aisle--this didn't make me too happy but luckily the flight was not full so i found an aisle seat with nobody next to me. I'm not great at sleeping on planes, but i managed to get a couple hours of sleep in between watching Shrek 3, 300, Blades of Glory (which had its moments, but wasn't great--I had a very similar response to Ricky Bobby as well).
Upon arriving in South Africa, the cabbie that picked me up had no idea where we were going, so I got a free one hour unplanned tour of Johannesburg while he kept asking me where it was (I don't he understood that i had no idea, just an email with the address). But eventually we got here--its a pretty nice complex, though the guy with a rifle outside of one of the entrances wasn't exactly reassuring. Tomorrow I'm off to my first day, and I'm sure I'll have more to write about then.
