This was an interesting weekend!
Oct 13th: Friday: Came down to the office today and quickly did some email'ing. We then set out to Pretoria to submit my copies of my educational certificates for SAQA evaluation. This is the first step in the work permit process (oh prior to this we got a copy of my passport attested at the Police station in Jo'burg).
Pretoria is quite different and older than Jo'burg. In Jo'burg you will find a mix of all kinds of people - Africans, English, Dutch, Our very own Desi's and more. Pretoria is more African dominated :) and seems a little older and more popolated. Its the capital of SA and all Govt offices are located there. We will go back there someday to look around. It was damn hot that day.
Sukanta is good with maps and we managed to find our way to Pretoria quite easyily after droppin off Haricharan ( a SAP dude from Hyd) to the Joburg airport(He went back to Hyd). Yea, locating the office on Arcadia road was a bit of fun coz I bungled the building number :) it was 1067 and I kept lookin for 1068 :) lol. Luckly pati noticed it and we managed to go and submit the papers. It hardly took 10 mins and sukanta got back his certified papers.
We then went to an Indian store called "S Jivan", and then went looking to find Harinath (another dude who works on SAP, from Hyd and stayed with sukanta in the guest house at gallo manor). Picked him up and got back to Joburg. It was 4 something Pm already and we were starving. Had some food at Mac Donald's and then came back home. We were dead tired. Had dinner and crashed.
Oct 14th: Saturday: I made roti's with bread flour :) lol. Came out pretty decent :) We then went to Sandton City, which is a huge shopping mall :) and office building. Spent sometime there... there seem to be a lot of sales on Diamond stuff out here :) lol very pretty stuff :)
Later we went to Makro (which is like costco but not as reasonable as Costco :) ) and did some home shopping. Went back to Gallo Manor and spent the rest of the evening there.
Oct 15th: Sunday: We went to Lion Park :) It was a very nice place to go :) Lions roamin around and going right next to the car :) he he. I will post some pictures soon :)
