JHB hospitality

while i was away at the conference (3 wks ago,) i met 2 very snobbish indian girls from Cape Town. Myself, being the naturally friendly person that i am, went up to them, introduced myself n started talking to them, but the next day when i greeted, they turned away without replying to my greeting.. thats when my "bitch" side got activated, and i didnt even smile at them thereafter.

But, on the wednesday(which was the last day of the con.) i met 3 other indian, muslim girls who are also SCIENTISTS... YES, it was a big deal, i mean, not, one, but THREE, !!! these girls were really sweet, and at the banquet that nite, they asked the waiter to bring me a plate of Halaal food to the table that i was sitting at, so that i didnt have to stand in the long queue with eveyone else. Upon returning home, i emailed one of them, to thank them for their kindness, and since them, we have become email-buddies. so, when she emailed Yesterday and asked if i could help a friend of hers that is in JHB for a course, i agreed to help her friend out.

So, met this girl n took her Fordsburg(naturally, thats were all the good food is..) and got her some nice Halaal food , took her around to show her the very unexciting sights n sounds(where do u take someone thats has the BEACH as their ourdoor entertainment here in the highveld?) and then dropped her back off at her hotel room... she was a really lovely person, with a Capetonian accent N it was her first time in jozi.....
