This is Africa?

One of the things I love about living in Cape Town is that it can take you to the greatest variety of places that you can imagine.

This week, that meant a couple of days at the office. It also meant taking in a winter night market at the Old Biscuit Mill..



Spending the day with over 15000 soccer fans cheering on Bafana Bafana, singing, dancing, and learning the diski dance for a world record attempt...



Saying goodbye to an amazing new friend and roommate...



Going to a World Refugee Day Conference at the faculty of law at UCT, sponsored by the UNHCR and featuring the former ANC Youth League President and current Deputy Minister of Home Affairs...



Lounging in swanky bars right off the beach in Camp’s Bay...



Browsing through designer stores and chilling with Nelson Mandela at the V&A Waterfront...



Dancing in a club 32 floors above the streets... (check out the moves on the guy in the background)



Visiting a vineyard, restaurant and cheetah sanctuary in the wine region...





And of course, checking out the highest scoring World Cup game of the tournament so far at Greenpoint Stadium – where the vuvuzelas, by the way, were somehow only a fraction of the volume that they have been out on the streets of Cape Town. Think about that next time you watch a game. ;)



Just another week in the Mother City.
