Well, well well...the South Africans have arrvied.
For those of you that haven't heard the news, Moishe House has launched a house in Cape Town, South Africa. The dwellers/inhabitants/housemates/moishehouseians are:
Kevin (Sack)
Daniel (Daanie)
Emma (Em)
Daniel (Barnett)
Ilan (Strauss)
The names in brackets are what we call each other, and will most likely sign off as.
So it's been a crazy couple of months to get this started... but it finally hapened. So what is it that finally happened?
We found a house that we're renting. That itself was many hours of searching the newspapers, cruising the streets and bribing real estate agents. Then we had to convince this harsh german landlord lady (froulin Unter) that these 4 nice Jewish lads and one fine Jewish lass are
a) good for a monthly rent
b) respectable, decent people...(not too easy)
Then came the drama of sorting out the rooms: after a week of discussion, we finally had a decision meeting where we decided through consensus (and straw polling) on our rooms. Then we had a week of fast-paced moving- organising trucks, couches, table tennis tables, beds and kitchen utensils...what a mission.
And with that glorious climax in the tale of "MH South Africa" I will have to leave, and Strauss will pick up from where i left.
In peace
Sack
