About

 Introduction…Greetings All! Welcome to my first blog. I will be an MBA exchange student at the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business for 3 months. The contents are a combination of my random thoughts and hopefully insightful observations. My travel map shows South Africa so far from New York I’m so excited for this trip! There is some much to see and do. I cannot wait to learn first hand of South Africa’s development economically and socially after the oppressive grips of apartheid. How different is life for the races in South Africa today? How does the experience of blacks in America and South Africa compare. I look forward to sharing my investigation to find out if South Africa is really a world away?

Hi Jamila!

Glad to hear/see that you have made it safely. You jinxed yourself talking about your luggage but at least you have it now. This website is a great idea. Now I can log a in to hear/see about your quest around the world.

The Ostrich pictures are funny! You are daring….. I can’t believe you held the egg!!! Looks like your having a lot of fun and trying a lot of new things -keep posting I love seeing all the pictures!

It cold and windy here! 😦 It looks bright and sunny there!!

How are the classes? Are you homesick?

hi there! yes the eggs were huge! thankfully there were no babies inside!
it is very bright here. the weather has been in the low to mid 70s. Perfect!!
i am actually a little anxious about getting home since i have a bunch to do to prepare for school. but i am having a GREAT time while i’m here. i only have one class now. so my work load is pretty light. i am, however, working on a few local consulting projects. that keeps life quite interesting!! it is certainly a learning experience!! i’ll speak to you soon.
best! jamila
