Where is the food?

Not too much happened last week so here is combined week 4/5 thoughts/observations: 
  • When crickets decide to be born and start roaming Western Province, they don't mess around.
  • Casual dining service is supremely slow compared to back home.
  • Paper towels are not a thing.
  • The lack of clouds or humidity makes the sun feel hotter than it actually is.
  • I saw a cop car.
  • "All set" is not a phrase people understand. The word is "sorted." 
  • There is no word for the act of raising one's shoulders as if to say "I don't know."
  • Pep rallies are called big brags.
  • Judging by the music playing while they were announced during a big brag, the Paul Roos chess team is a group of rock stars.
  • There are only single stuf oreos.
  • I don't think I've seen any Pepsi products.
  • Wine is very inexpensive and abundant here in Stellenbosch.
