Downtown Rustenburg

Here's a few pictures of downtown Rustenburg. The traffic is pretty crazy. It's going to take me awhile to get used to driving on the left side of the road. People and vehicles seem to coexist equally on the road. People don't really look before stepping into the road, and they get mad at you for driving in front of them as they cross a busy road. The second picture is called a "taxi rank". It is a kind of bus depot for taxis that will take you all over Africa. They don't leave until the bus is full, which seems to be about 16 people in a 8 passenger van. It's also weird because they speak English, but not our English. It's not even like British English as I expected. They have such a thick accent that it is very hard to communicate with them. It almost seems like it would be easier if we spoke completely different languages and used hand motions. I'm sure we'll learn sooner or later.
