Day 8. Mon 21:
Im not referring to the french rugby team but to a personal joke my dad and I have, we used to say this when going canoeing into the blue sea in Mauritius.
So i thought it was appropriate as we went on a restored submarine in Simon's town today. It was Fantastic to go inside and have a tour from the now retired men who used to serve in that very same submarine. Again being in a tourist attraction i was accepted as normal by tourist standards.
As Turner (1985: 1) says in Addressing the Body “dress is a basic fact of social life and this is true of all known humans” so i decided to dress in a very stereotypical french way, with blue and white stripes, braided hair and a berret and i got some funny looks from people, it was interesting how the way i dressed changed peoples judgements of me and how they easily decided what kind of person i was just by what i was wearing.
