--9/31/07: JB In Africa Day 6 (Tour of Soweto)
Today Fanni (The dude who owns the place we are stayin at) took us on a tour of Soweto, which is the section of Johannesburg where the colored people were forced to live during the apartheid was going on in South Africa. You always see the less fortunate families on TV in Africa but you don't realize what its like and how bad it really is until you see it in person. It was honestly life changing stuff we all saw and a good experience. They told us this would be like Beverly Hills compared to how families live in other countries in Africa and I couldn't imagine even staying here for a day. We drove around and listened to Fanni talk and then went to a few museums, Nelson Mandela's house, and then Wandees which was the first restaurant business to be established in Soweto a long time ago. Wandee himself popped in and we got to talk to him for a bit. Definitely pumped I had a chance to see all of that though, here are a few pics from the day. Later - JB
