So I finally understand the game of Rugby, five months later. After several trips to watch the games at the stadium I’ve grown to even like the game. It’s like football but more brutal, which I can appreciate.

 I think I’m going to keep up with it when I get back to the states. Now soccer on the other hand I have loved all my life so it was so amazing being in a country where the sport is literally everywhere. There are more soccer fields than McDonalds (hard to believe I know!!!). For a special treat CIEE took us to see a soccer game where the Ajax (pronounced ayax) played the pirates and it was AWESOME, mostly because we were in Cape Town stadium built for the 2010 world cup and yes it is more beautiful in person. 

Overall thumbs up for the sports experience.
