Langa

After Robben Island, we visited the smallest township in Cape Town, Langa. In Langa, they speak Xhosa and let the record show, I will never speak Xhosa. Tongue clicks are not for me. I know one word now, "mollo," which is like "hello," but different.

Langa was incredible. Like Robben Island, it cannot be described. So many people and things! The kids just run up and demand to be picked up and played with. When a child does that, you play with them. My new, little friend felt the need to repeatedly fix my hair and headband... as if I need more proof that I need a haircut.
