Cape Town Sucks

I arrived in the ‘Your Mother’ City this morning at 10h00. It is now 17h30. In that time Dave and I have been sworn at by an irate man and his dog, been the victims of a road rage incident, watched two people have an all-out bare knuckle boxing match in the middle of Kloof street (the loser of which got tossed in front of Dave’s car), and witnessed a series of hooting, screeching exchanges between drivers from the sanctity of our office.

Dave says the view is nice. Gimme a postcard. This place smells like rotten kelp.

See you in Jozi…

    Couldn’t agree more. They can have their view – we’ll keep the money ;)

    Mike, the now misnamed ‘Mother City’ has become the murder capital of the RSA. A sad decline….

    Stop complaining about the Mother City. At least Cape Town is better than Jozi and we have beaches ;)

    Im 15, from Cape Town.. And i guess everyone has their opinions.. But ziggy s? South Africans are not all fools. Yes theirs alot of violence etc. But it is still the best place in the world. I live in Dublin, Ireland now. And well. . Its not great. If you think Cape Towns bad.. Come to Dublin. And you will quickly run back to Cape Town.

    Sometimes the grass is greener in places where you don’t expect it to be green.
