5/24
After escaping Universitas, Wieda and Marcè took me to the Cheetah
park and it was absolutely wonderful! I could tell the Cheetah
Experience was heavily focused on conservancy and saving endangered
animals. The park even hosted some wild cats that looked a lot like
house cats, but the tour guide said that people will pay R2000 just to
shoot one for sport. She didn't appreciate my humor when I suggested
that people just shoot city cats as they are free and abundant. I think
my chances for volunteering have diminished. Regardless, I can now check
petting a Cheetah off my bucketlist. Later in the evening I went to a
braai thanks to the invite of Aldinè, another dietetics student. We had a
lot of fun with many other students from the department, and it was
the most wonderful thing to see the sense of community and friendship
among those ladies. Not to mention I got to play with Aldinè's little
toy pom puppy and I got to try some new Afrikaans foods like boerewors,
sheep chops, mielie bread, and pumpkin tart.
