I have 4 weeks of vacation time beginning this Friday. I narrowed my options down to three choices: America, Cape Town S. Africa, or traveling around Southeast Asia. After considering how damn HOT Indonesia is, I pretty much knocked out the States and Asia of the running. So what if I went to Cape Town in December for a month? I absolutely love it there! However, this time will be much cooler, with a high temperature of around 70 degrees…Read more

You’ve probably heard that word before. “Eye of the Dayâ€, in Bahasa Indonesia, the language here, it’s quite the understatement.

If anyone out there has ever seen Cape Town, you’ll understand my love for this city. It is definitely the most vibrant, resilient, and positive city I’veRead more
Cape Town
I just got my tickets today!! I’m so excited cause I’ve been “waitlisted” for 2 months. My mother actually moved from America to Cape Town, South Africa (all the way at the bottom of Africa) in the summer of 2001. I was there for 5 weeks last Christmas and will be able to stay for 3 weeks this time, joined by my brother and sister as well. Cape Town is probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.
