In Pretoria--A Visit to the Philippine Embassy

On Sunday, my mom, my sister, and I went to Pretoria to the Philippine Embassy to see the vice president of the Philippines. His name, I found out, is Noli de Castro. He was here to attend the inauguration of South Africa's new president, Jacob Zuma.

Just to let you all know, Pretoria is the capital of South Africa. It's around 30-45 minutes away from Johannesburg, where we live. Johannesburg is known as the financial capital because this is where all the money is!
