*laughs* Oh my...

Okay, today was the day our group had "off" after a morning intiative with another study abroad group from Azusa Pacific(they're staying three weeks, it's for the J-term).

A taxi was hailed. I'm still getting used to the idea that taxis here are these 15-passenger vans(okay, sometimes they're a little smaller).
A mall was visited--it looked much like an American mall, except movie tickets are waaaay cheaper and the food court was nicer and different store names, people, etc.
A Janeen was dropped off at the metro station in order to return to Diep River so she could relax at the flat and do some seriously needed devos.
HA. HA. ---> By the way, Terry Pratchett's Hogfather has been made into a TV series! Crazy stuff!
Anyways, so she gets off at the wrong exit, goes off the train and away from the station before she REALIZES it's the wrong exit(Wittebome instead of Steurhof), so our intrepid, sleep-deprived explorer walks on back to the train station, buys another ticket for Steurhof, and hopes for the best.
She misses the first train out of Cape Town because she's on the wrong side of the tracks.
She waits for the second train to come around, and twenty minutes later, is finally settled into what she hopes is the metro-plus section.
She tries to get off at Steurhof, but can't manage to get the doors open!
She resolves to get off at the next exit, no matter what--but still nearly misses it and in fact only manages to leave the train thanks to the kind help of another passenger. Our explorer wishes she had had a nicer expression on her face when she thanked the passenger, but she was too busy glaring at the door.
She walks out of the station, finds out that this exit actually works much better than Steurhof, and walks to Pinewin.
There she discovers she can't locate the gate to unlock to get it. A call is made to Mrs. Keret(host-sister's Mom), who guides her to the gate, wherein the intrepid explorer tries all of the keys on her chain. None of them work. Finally the lovely Mrs. Keret calls one of the flat workers to open the door for her.
Right, now our traveler strides over to the door of the flats, confident that THIS time one of her keys will work.
No Such Luck, wait, bad word choice--ah, Fortune?--no, not right word either--let's just say, the door doesn't budge. Thank God another tenant buzzes into the building at about that time.
Now on the premises of her flat, the explorer trudges up the stairs and begins unlocking the three locks separating her from a power nap and a much-needed devotional time.
First lock=opens nicely.
Second lock=hah!.
Third lock=decides to play the same joke as the second lock.
After many struggles and much toil, the locks finally open and Janeen enters the flat.
