Braai

Braai is a South African tradition, basically a barbecue. The way you'd see campsites advertising barbecue pits or a store selling backyard barbecues, you see braais advertised in South Africa. Every Friday night, the field specialists, interns, and graduate students take the time to have a braai here on campus. It's a lengthy affair, lasting several hours and giving plenty of time for socializing while the wood burns down to coals and the food cooks.
