Things Notre Dame Students Like #26: Day Drinking

So, we just got back from Googletu (Guguletu, but this guy had the Google shirt and it was really funny). Anyways, it was the BEST day EVER (seriously, VH1 could have had a special about it). We left around 2:30 and stayed until like 6. Pretty much we got there, bought beer and cider (Hunter's and Savannah is soooooooooo good), put in an order for 20-something people, and danced for hours waiting for our food. It's pretty much a TON of people from the townships and all around Cape Town who come out to Mzoli's (the restaurant that cooks the food), participates in the honored tradition of Day Drinking, dance all day (people in Africa appreciate dance way more than people in the States :-), and then devour the AMAZING food. After waiting for at least 2 hours, our food came in a huge bucket. We got chicken, steak, sausage, and mashed potatoes, pretty much all mixed together in a huge container. I asked Moses if we got any sort of utensils, and he was like "don't ask that question to anyone, just use your hands." So, after the food showed up we devoured it; I had three pieces of chicken and a huge steak, and after you're finished you just throw the bones on the floor. It was the messiest, tastiest, most amazing meal I've ever had. I have no idea what kind of marinade they used, but it was AMAZING (it also may have had to do with the day drinking). Anyways, we just got back to the house and it sounds like some of us will be going out tonight (half-priced sushi, half-priced drinks!), and then waking up early to do our first assignment (really? homework in Cape Town? this is a joke, right?...) So, I'll be back on tomorrow, ready to tell all about tonight. Till then,
