Folks,
I now have an apartment - in the posh area of Devils Peak, just
below a hill of the same name. I share with a white lady who works
for a WWW publishing company.
It is a fairly small apartment, with stunning views of Cape Town,
and somewhat primitive plumbing. It is half an hours walk from town,
handy, as I have yet to buy a vehicle.
You may have notice the Rand plunge nearly 10% in value in the last
week - currency speculators who think the Rand will devalue like
the Eastern economies. It appears to be holding at that level though.
As a consequence, I would prefer to keep my dollars as dollars, and
borrow from the bank to buy a bike. Prime rate here is now 26%.
Near my apartment I am happy to find a really great local (white,
primarily) bar called The Shack - fine music, indifferent beer, and
good clientele. Well, cannot win them all ..
At work I a busy tidying up these folks network security, and
installing administration software, and in the process getting
familiar with the various systems the company maintains for
Vodacom. We have finally agreed of the text for the employment
contract I have to sign, so hopefully I will soon be able to
persuade the bank to lend me money ..
Oh - naked white toes ?? Major shock value here - I now wear socks.
Happy 4th July ..
Cheers, Andy!
