4-8-10: South Africa and Namibia Take Over!

Here are a few reactions from the girls at Girlz Got Skillz about our tour around Khaylitsha, the local township that most of the South African girls live in:

"Khayelitsha was so nice! And we saw many places such as the Magistrate Courts and we even ate a meat called Umbengo. My favorite part when we went to the tour guides house and saw his room and all his cycling medals. "-Siphosethu, South Africa

"I liked the fielld where we were playing soccer and we were eating and when we climbed up and saw all of Khayelitsha" "The meat was so nice" -Kema and Natalia, Namibia

"I liked it because we eat meat that we like and we eat breads. We walked around and saw how the city looked like and we even saw some different tribes. It's different from Namibia because there we don't have such buildings, and we have bushes there. And we don't really see those big buildings like we saw in Khayelitsha. I have learned a lot because in some of the areas in my country in Namibia, I have never been to the hills and I have never seen the ocean, and even some of the animals are different here and I have never seen them, like the squirrel." -Elise, Namibia

Here are a few reactions about Greenpoint Stadium, the 2010 Fifa World Cup Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa:

"I liked the stadium of the soccer a lot. Because, it's a new building, it's very big, not like ours in Namibia. There's many seats, so there are a lot of levels. So, I just want to say that it was nice to meet nice friends from America. It's nice to share stories with each other. Take care all, love you!" -Nalooliwa, Namibia

"We liked the way we built it and the grass was beautiful." "The lights were really cool too." -Kema and Natalia, Namibia

More to come from the American girls. Stay tuned! In the meantime, here's a picture from earlier in the trip:
