Week 11: Last week at AE and some lingo

Well, I know I'm a day early for my weekly blog, but I'm leaving at 5:30am tomorrow for SAFARI, so I won't be getting up any earlier than I have to in order to write for you all. =)

Firstly, HAPPY EASTER! We had an amazing Good Friday chapel--we had communion, worship and a very thought-provoking message given by Reg. I spent this morning at church, came back for some fellowship with my APU group and relaxed. We did an egg hunt, an egg toss and I watched The Little Mermaid with a few friends.

I'll have so much to say when I can blog again on Saturday, so I'll just share some South African lingo with you:

When a South African says...

"just now," they actually mean sometime in the next 20 minutes to few hours
"now now," they actually mean now or this moment
"braai," they actually mean bbq (this is actually the Afrikaans word)
"torch," they actually mean flashlight
"circle," they actually mean roundabout
"bakkie" (sounds like bucky), they actually mean small pick-up truck
"robot," they actually mean traffic light
"sharp sharp" (sounds like shop shop), they actually mean a-ok.

And now you speak South African English. Enjoy!
