Thursday night was spent at a local arts festival in which they close off main street, and local artists or potential artists of the like perform and display sculptures, paintings or even live graffiti are on vehicles.
It was here I was able to broaden my worldwide friends base which led me into Friday night local saloon antics. Black Bear Saloon is a typical American sports bar slash club dance scene in which girls and boys are strongly looking for a good time. I mention this because the forwardness of American boys is somewhat shocking but then again also refreshing. Saturday I explored my local beach, Compo beach, with my Thai neighbour, the weather was fantastic, close to Durban with the humidity, a disappointing discovery since humidity is such a killer! The sand is pebbly and white, the water is as flat as road and transparent as glass, and the little shop selling everything from hot dogs, to ice-cream to candy and Melissa and Doug toys is so convenient. Saterday night I had my first train ride into the City that never sleeps, exploring the avenues and walking through Times Square in heels and a party dress was a new experience. Sunday I headed back into the city to revel in one of America's top sports, baseball, I thought cricket was tedious, baseball was no exception haha. I loved the ambiance and patriotism. The bunch of girls I spent the day with, from Germany to Netherlands to Brazil, was so wonderful. Experiencing this journey with people all over the world is such an eye opener, I feel as if I'm travelling to their countries through their stories and anecdotes, I feel so blessed to be involved with girls of different cultures.
