Cape Town. What can I say about Cape town.
These are the things we did: Went to Cape point (southern tip of South Africa), saw African Penguins (also known as Jackass Penguins, really!), ate at a fancy restaurant called Jardine, had breakfast at the bakery there as well, ate Bunny Chow for the first time (it's not what you think it is), toured the winelands of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franchoek, had a lot of wine, cheese and chocolate, saw a goat drink the urine of another goat, took a video of that, got lotsa mosquito bites at the hostel, walked up to the posh Kloof Street for more food and shopping, played card games with the girls, ate "Simba" chips for the first time (like ruffles, but more cheesy and with a picture of a lion on the front, lol), visited some museums about Slavery, briefly walked through the colourful streets of Bo Kaap (area with mostly Muslims), toured the townships of Cape Flats (area where the poorest of the poor live). I really saw the disparities between the rich and the poor. We learn a lot about poverty in school and from the media, but I never really knew what that meant until I got here.
There must be more, but I've already forgotten most of it.
