Bunny Chow and Moses Mabhida


Saturday, February 16, 2019



            Yesterday afternoon I visited downtown Durban to do some exploring with some friends from my study abroad group. First, we headed to Gounden’s Restaurant & Take-Away for lunch. Gounden’s has some of the best bunny chows (bunnys) in Durban. Bunny chow is a South African fast food dish that was created by the Indian population here in Durban. Bunny consists of a hollowed-out loaf (or part of a loaf) of white bread filled with curry.

After our delicious lunch we headed to Moses Mabhida Stadium, which hosted many games during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The most prominent feature of the stadium is the arch that holds up the roof of the stadium. Inspired by the Y- shape featured on the South African flag, the arch represents the once divided nation becoming united. Another cool architectural feature is the color and pattern of the seats. The blue seats represent the ocean, which the orange seats represent the sunset.

As part of our stadium tour, we were able to walk on the soccer field and visit the Presidential Suite and players’ locker rooms. It was incredible to be able to walk on the field where Spain defeated Germany before going on to win the FIFA World Cup.

The stadium also offers a sky car to the top of the arch, where a platform that offers breathtaking views of Durban is located. Unfortunately, the sky car was broken when we visited. Hopefully, it will be fixed before I leave Durban! In addition, the stadium has a giant swing from one of the ledges on the arch. I don’t think I’m brave enough to do that, though!

Thanks for reading!



P.S. Sorry it’s been a while since I last posted. School started ramping up and unfortunately, I came down with a nasty stomach bug early last week. Luckily, I got incredible medical care and I’m feeling so much better

  3. It will doubtless solely supply holds twice, and also you missed out on two attainable minor wins. Of course, should you DON'T hold when offered, it's going to taunt you by spinning within the third seven on function. They can tweak the odds relying on how 1xbet much they have paid out vs. how much they have taken in. If players do poorly, and it dips too far below the proportion, they may outright pressure wins on you and give you an unbeatable board where you can to|you presumably can}'t lose and might safely play for the jackpot repeater. They try to brainwash you and inform you they are, but whenever you're an experienced player like myself, you play a game for some time and give it an opportunity. Please do not go in pondering I will play until I get free spins or a bonus.
