Apartheid Amusement Park

Kemi and I finally got some time to ourselves, so we headed out for the Apartheid Museum. Interestingly, we got two different reactions from (white) South Africans when we said where we were going. One countered, "I'm waiting for the day when I can go to your apartheid museum," and the other said, "Oh... where is that again?" I don't know if this was telling or not. Also, the museum was empty. About five foreign tourists were there. Nevertheless, it was a fascinating, exhausting experience. It is a modern and starkly designed space, reminiscent of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. The strangest part, however, is that it is at an exit of the highway in a place called Gold Reef City. There is a theme park (about the gold rush, not apartheid) and a casino on the same grounds as the museum. Surreal.
