OK, so I realised I hadn't yet done a post on what I did for my new year. Usually I don't do anything, my parents are both musicians and are therefore usually working NYE, my little brother is a party animal so is usually out which leaves me and my other little brother usually watching a film together then watching the fireworks over Manchester (his bedroom window is on the 2nd floor and we're also on top of a small hill so we have a nice view).
But of course, this is no usual new year. This is quite possibly the only new year I'll spend in SA, so I thought I should try and do something special. Now all the other volunteers seemed to be either going to a festival, or to Long Street to party. I'm not so much of a clubber so this doesn't seem like any fun to me. Luckily I found some other people who wanted a quieter new year, so me and two others went out for a lovely meal and then sat in the kitchen at home for a while. Then at midnight, we paid a visit to the few poor souls stuck on night-shift. We took some sparklers and LED balloons and paper streamers and the night-shift folk came outside (with the older girls) and we had a mini party. All the girls were singing and dancing, it was lekker. And I think I can safely say we had the most original new year of our lives!
