Today started as a bus trip from Durban to Joberg. A trip that should be 7 hours. 15 hours later I am finally at my destination. The day started with an image of one man being brutally arrested by the police; I'm sure some of his teeth were knocked out. Later our bus broke down on the side of the road. 5 hours later I am able to get on another bus, but not after a constant battle for the other 3 busses that passed. I dont feel too bad about not getting on them because the young men who did, wouldn't even give up their seat for an 86 year old woman. We make it into joberg, but now its dark, and this is not a kind city. So while waiting for my extremly expensive taxi (about $40), I have to listen to the guy next to me, who won't be quiet, for another hour and a half.
It's been a long day.
-over and out.
