This trip to South Africa is part of an International Social Work class offered through the Florida State University. I plan to use this as a journal of my experiences, for all to see and for me to remember!

Indian Market

The Indian Market is like an indoor flea market. It is a place that we were told to go right in the door and come out the same door. To use any other exit would not be safe. Before we went in, they took us by a Zulu animal parts store for the items to be used by the medicine man and the spiritual healer in a Zulu community. I chose to not look. It was very nasty, if you ask me.

We then were allocated 30 minutes to shop. I made my way to a specialty store on the second floor. I had told the guide on our safari that I needed a place to get my brother a good gift. He told me to go in there and tell the owner “Tim sent me!” I did that and the guy was great - actually somebody Jim would really like. He was great. Of course, they could all be in cahoots, but I think that I he was okay.
