Capetonian

Hello from Cape Town, my new home!

Yes, I now live in Cape Town. I've never been so enthusiastic to call a place home. Why? Cape Town is perhaps one of the most physically and culturally diverse cities I've ever been to in the world. Now I understand why it receives so much attention as an international destination. It's an amazing city.

I'm getting quite ahead of myself. Here's a bulleted list of things I have done in the past twelve days. It's also a quiz to see if you can understand South African slang.


  • Rode in the back of a bakkie 
  • Went to not one, but three braais
  • Went on a game drive
  • Ate a Naartjie 
  • Saw Table Mountain's veil
  • Rode in a lift
  • Traveled in a coach
  • Ate milk tart
I'll let you non-South African readers try to figure out what I did. First one to email or comment me gets an acknowledgment in my next post!

Like I mentioned earlier, I am now living in Cape Town. In short, I love it here. I'm currently with a temporary family until Tuesday, when I move in with my new permanent family. I'm very excited to meet my new family! I had the pleasure of going to a Passover Seder at Temple Israel, in Cape Town. It was a bit different than the Seders I've been to in the past. Interestingly enough, they used the same Haggadah that my family at home uses. Small world? Perhaps. 

I apologize for the briefness of this post. I will post pictures of the activities shortly. The internet here isn't fast enough to let me post. 

Cheers!
Danny
