The Language Excursions this week were all about Entertainment & Leisure.

On the first day we headed to Gugs, where Lucky and his friends welcomed us for a drum workshop. They taught us how to play the Djembes and the Marimbas and entertained us with great beats.

The next day we visited John Bauer an artist. We were told about his artwork and we each got a small area in the workshop to create our own artwork.

For the last Language Excursion we jumped onto the train to Langa. There we met Nhoza, who guided us through her home town. At her shack we had a small food tasting of various traditional foods, which she had prepared before we arrived. We tasted Lamb, Vetkoeks and sheep head. We all hesitated to try the sheep head, but finally some of us did and believe me their faces were fun to watch! At last we tasted the traditional beer “Umqombothi”, while we were sitting in a nice circle and Nhoza was singing and dancing.
