Saturday night we (my flatmate, Helen & Edwin, and three teachers visiting from the U.K.) went to the African Renai
ssance Concert at the University of Pretoria concert hall. Four different choirs performed and they were each uniquely wonderful to the p
oint that we were dancing in our seats. The UP Chorale was my favorite indigenous repetoire as they donned traditional dress while dancing and singing wildly in the 11 official languages of South Africa. The event started at 7 p.m. and went on for 4+ hours...I got lost in time with the soul-stirring of African song & dance.

Song and dance for four hours, weren't you exhausted? It certainly presented what we know as their form of entertainment. It would definitely keep one entertained. You will truly be culturely exposed by the time you return back in Portugal. Knowing you , I'm sure you got lots of dancing in yourself.
Yeah!! you better bring some African moves home, dude :))
