We're talking fried lettuce and unidentifiable granulated meat product. So by all means, take the trip if you can, but maybe take some snacks? The coolest thing about the southern hemisphere was seeing the Milky Way. It's much more difficult to see up here in the north. But while we were deep in South Africa's ostrich country, we were actually able to look into the rest of the galaxy. Very nice.

Cape Town sounds like an awesome place to be sent as part of your job. Was it disorientating to see the water swirl in the opposite direction? As for future plans... I recently found out that I have a poster paper accepted at a conference in Hong Kong, so I hope I'll be able to attend. Hilary,

Do they need more volunteer travelers? I shouldn't complain--work sent me to Cape Town in March. First trip to the southern hemisphere, and super cool. Where are you going next?

I shouldn’t complain–work sent me to Cape Town in March. First trip to the southern hemisphere, and super cool.

Where are you going next?
