NEON-VEST-WEARING PARKING ATTENDANTS: There are tons of people who wear neon orange vests and try to “help” you park places. I can’t tell you how many times people in this attire have ushered us—airplane style—into a parking space we were already entering, and then expected some form of a tip. There are a couple homeless men in Mobray (a sketchy neighborhood next to us) who have the same vests. They have definitely has lost its credibility.
PIGEONS: There are all over campus. They fly in all of the buildings and waddle around with the students. Somehow they seem cleaner than the ones in New York. [Please don’t burst my bubble.]
BARE FEET: No one here wears shoes. I’ve walked barefoot around campus a couple times now. But have recently been called a poser by a fellow American. So what? It’s liberating and feels very South African (everyone here’s reallyyyyy laid-back). I think I’m going to keep it going. Pretty excited for some calloused, strong, poser feet.
WEAVE: I have no idea how they’re getting there, but I’ve seen seeing bits of people’s weave (fake hair) randomly all over the streets. It’s five and counting. Question to ponder: “What do women do when it falls out? Would it be more or less awkward to pick it up after?” – Bianca.
