2. People there, drive on the left side of the road.
3. The time difference is 8 hours ahead. If it were 9am in Kansas, it would be 5pm there.
4. The school that I am attending is called, The American International School of Johannesburg.
5. 40% of the kids at my new school are American, everyone else is from around the world.
6. It is illegal to talk on a cell phone while driving a car.
I am really excited about moving to Johannesburg, South Africa, but am really sad to be leaving my Kansas friends. I am also sad about loosing my 3 year old, aquatic pet frog, "Bubbles". I gave Bubbles to my class as a "class pet" because I could not take him with me, and he recently died in the classroom.
I have been spending lots of time with my friends, saying my goodbyes. I had fun at the Great Wolf Lodge for a Girl Scout Bronze award celebration. I look forward to my next blog post, and sharing more fun facts about South Africa.
