Preparations

Preparations for the trip are slowly coming along. I've taken care of my passport an am working on getting my vaccinations and any other medical requirements I need to take care of before I go. I still have to buy a plane ticket - I'm waiting on that to see if I get the fellowship or not. And I'm still working on housing too. I got a list of housing today - capitalism has definitely found its way into South Africa. Talk about price gouging. Some of the places are asking for $100 a day - that's more than 700 Rand a day! Definitely out of my price range. I'll have to do some more searching once I get done with my last paper next week. I just finished my paper on welfare rights and South Africa. If anyone wants to read it let me know and I will send it along.

45 days until I start at the SALRC!
