Charleston isn't so bad as long as you stay in your car. It seems like a normal city until you get out and start talking to people. Even going into the mall is weird. It looks like a regular mall that you'd find in any other city, but the people seem out of place there. But it is really depressing on the back roads seeing all of the decrepit trailer homes that people actually live in. The South Africans that I had out visiting were quite taken aback as it was a stark contrast from what they expected of the U.S. However they said that poverty doesn't hold a candle to Soweto. They were very amused listening to people talk out at the mine. They couldn't understand a word that anybody was saying at the mine. They asked me to interpret....unfortunately, I couldn't understand a word that they were saying either. And yup, that sure is a shiney dome! I stayed right up the street at the residence inn, so I saw it a whole bunch.
