I'll be leaving South Africa in 10 days, and am in awe of this whole study abroad experience. Did I really know so little when I first got here? I feel like I know Durban and KwaZulu-Natal so well now.
I have had the lucky opportunity to walk in many different worlds, seeing through the eyes of Zulus, Afrikaaners, Englishmen, Indians, the rich, the poor, and many in between. I've learned where locals get delicious roti rolls at any hour of the night for just 25 rand. I've learned the candid intricacies of the South African prison system, and how offenders can be victims too. I've learned the feeling of flying. I've learned that I am extremely, extremely powerful.
I've always said that I am a very lucky person, but have never known it to be more true than now.
