Prior to us leaving UFS to head to Cape Town, we met with Jonathan Jansen. He is the president of UFS and also is the author of "Knowledge in the Blood". The book outlines the history of South Africa and how he encouraged the students to be integrated. He answered questions about race relations, his opinions about USA and why he decided to step down as president of UFS. It felt good connecting the dots of the knowledge that we obtained regarding South Africa with his story. This allowed me to deepen my comprehension of his book and South Africa.
Afterwards we flew to Cape Town and we were sleeping at a hotel named "An African villa". Cape Town is beautiful. The views of the mountains were speechless. Cape Town seems like it is built within the mountains. In addition, we visited the Green Market Square. Professor Clarke informed us that this is the place to bargain for South African goods. I was ready! For the first go-round, I was able to purchase jewelry, souvenirs and wooden art.
