SNOOP AND ME! Yesterday I went with a group of people to the People\'s Celebration Concert in Cape Town, for 12 hours!! It was basically a black celebration concert with loads of Hip Hop and RnB artists. Snoop Dogg was headlining although he missed the concerts in Durban and Jo\'burg due to his unfortunate arrest at the weekend! Also there were Mario, Sean Paul and Pharell. It was wicked, if not a little \"fragrant\", I swear I was stoned from the passive sm...

But I lost track of it eventually. However, I soon found it again when I pulled up my jeans (skintight by the way!), zipped them up and then was suddenly awa...

THE NO. 3 BUS I went on a lovely tour of Nova Natal, I didn't mean to but hey!! I don't seem to be doing too well with buses. Today I tried to catch the No 3 back home, it literally takes less than 10 minutes and just makes a bit of a detour round the university campus. But apparently, there are 2 number 3 buses, which nobody tells you of course your just meant to telepathically know. Anyway, so of course I catch the wrong number 3 (bearing in mind they...
