Cornee, Rachel, Katherine, and I took a trip to the Hector Pieterson Museum today. The museum was created to educate the public on the events surrounding the anti-Afrikaans Soweto Uprising and is named after the 12-year-old who was killed when the police opened fire on protesting students. Reading the story of the youth movement for the rights of the native African people was both inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time.
Afterwards, we ate lunch at a nearby South African buffet. Okay, seriously, I need to stop going to all-you-can-eat places before I turn from Timon into Pumbaa. The spicy vegetable salad and the lamb were my favorites, but the sheep intestines were a real turn-off. There are plenty of foods that smell terrible but taste amazing (like durians and stinky tofu), but sheep intestines certainly do not fall under this category. They tasted just as bad as you might imagine. Who knew that there would be a food that I didn't enjoy eating?
