What a crazy 6 days it has been. I finally got a small glimpse of the South African health system. Mainly only in the ER but it was worth it. For multiple reasons. Well of course I felt bad for Gabriela but it was really interesting to see the "process" of medicine here at the World Cup. Thank God we were the first to go through it because if it was anyone else, they'd be UPSET.
Which brings me to my constant surprise: Americans aren't as pushy and impatient as other countrymen. Maybe it's because there aren't as many of us here but I am seriously constantly surprised at how much some other countries are impatient, pushy and close minded. Maybe it's just my point of view but yeah. It's nuts.
I'm making more and more "contacts" every day. I've been invited to Brazil, Spain and back to South Africa so far. I need to brush up on my Spanish and Korean. I'm slowly learning Zulu and Portuguese.
As it is T-minus 3 days the Accreditation Centre gets crazier and crazier. More and more countries are showing face and security is getting tighter. Gone are my days of galavanting around the stadium for no particular reason. HOWEVER, because I am language support I am now definitely working all match days INSIDE the stadium. Except of course the day that I am watching the first round of 16 match.
My blogs are boring yeah? I'll try and post more pictures since they "speak 1000 words."
