  3. Happy 91st Birthday, Nelson Mandela! Many South Africans want today to be a national holiday - in the meantime they are using the day t ...
  4. @urthstripe I feel your pain. South Africa has a similar abhorrence of free refills and a similar obsession with boom boom pow.

  6. Visited the Cape of Good Hope today. One of our cars was attacked, invaded, and defecated in by baboons. Seriously.
  7. @danaboo2you I don't know about "expert chef," but I can say that the last time I had your cooking, I was definitely impressed!

  12. Radio announcers here in Cape Town just said that it's like "Christmas in July" because it is so hot outside. Southern hemisphere FTW.
  13. Seeing Transformers 2 tonight. Also singing karaoke? Am I still in Africa?
  14. Sorry for my absence - I was on safari this past weekend and couldn't bring myself to tweet from the African bush. I did see lions, though!
  15. Go USA! Watching the confederation cup finals in a surprisingly American-friendly pub in South Africa.
  16. New posts, new tweets, and new pics: http://mattkernan.wordpress...
  17. Gotta finish Catch-22 by June 20th so that I can start Infinite Jest with everyone else in the world: http://infinitesummer.org #infsum
  18. Had a meeting in the field today with 6 Mamas (and a Dada). Scheduled and hired one per day as field guides for the next 5 1/2 weeks.
  19. Youth Day in S. Africa. Honors the high school kids killed in the 70s when they had an uprising over what language they should be taught in
  20. Twits: I am also blogging my South African adventure at http://mattkernan.wordpress.... Original name, I know!
