Some pictures from South Africa

Here are a couple pictures of where I am living and working--more interesting stuff to come for sure after this weekend, when I fly to Cape Town. I haven't had much of a chance to do any site seeing so far, but now that I have gotten myself situated I will be venturing out more. Not much happened yesterday, I joined a gym (which is really nice: indoor pool, indoor track, 3 floors of workout equipment, timed circuit system, and a cool personal training device where you stick your keycard in the machine and it tells you what you lifted previously, and how much you should lift today).

This is my car. It has the worst acceleration in the world, but it gets me by! I think I have finally gotten used to entering on the right side, though I always grab to my left for the seat belt (its funny how automatic things become after you've done them thousands of times).



This is a picture of outside my office--nice building for a startup.



Here is the outside of my apartment. All of the housing complexes around here have gates in the front, though I have been told that security guards are not that reliable (in fact, I believe the quote was: "they're either gone half the time or stoned").



Here's my bedroom. Queen sized bed, my own bathroom; I definitely can't complain.



This is the living room. We get ESPN, so I still get my dose of SportsCenter in the morning (late AM in the U.S.).



This is the upstairs loft, though there isn't anything up there except for two long tables.



Here's the kitchen. I've cooked most of my meals so far--South African's are very much carnivores. I couldn't even find chicken at the local Woolworth's (all beef and lamb).
