On Wednesday I spent the most of the day by the pool at Debbies, was nice just to relax and soak up some vitamin D:-) That evening I went with Michael, one of Debbie close friends to see some more animals. He will be building a house, along with many others, on this gated game farm thats a little further out of town. Whats cool is once his house gets built he will be able to sit out on his porch and see all kinds of animals, like zebra, giraffe, deer or buck, wildebeest and warthog all the time.
As most of you may know, I'm an extremely picky eater. But you would be proud of me for trying new foods. I've tried Milk-tart. Its kind of like a pie and cheesecake mixed together. Its really good. (They love the way I say pie by the way.) I've tried Prickly Pears. They grow on cactus. You have to cut off the thorns and skin and eat the insides. It has lots of seeds inside. If you remember the Bare Necessities off the Jungle Book, Baloo the bear sings about them. I've also had some kind of African dish, I forget the name, with hamburger meat, onions, rice and raisins. They eat lots of salads here and sandwiches, which they call rolls. They go to the store everyday and buy fresh bread. On the rolls put butter and cheese, kind of an odd combination. Sometimes they put tomato or mayonnaise on them. Oh, a chicken sandwich is called a chicken burger here. Anything that comes on a bun is a burger.
Some more wording differences for here and home. Try using them in a sentence with an English accent.
