things about cape town i will miss

* summer days on the beach, relaxing in the hot sun than timidly approaching the icy water... icecream, melty smarties chocolate eggs, wild cherry energade, magazines and lazy conversations.
* winter mornings in bed with hot chocolate, listening to the foghorn.
* joburg, the shack, buena vista, cool runnings (obs), the armchair theatre and all the other laid-back cape town nightspots.
* cadbury's bournville mousse chocolate
* debonair's pizza's (no chopped tomato though please)
* late-night cheese croissants from the engen in gardens (the place to be post-club)
* the laid-back capetonian approach.
* scar, the space station, YDE, journey- where will i get my clothes?
* many many many cheap great fabric stores.
* the kilo stores- R10 magazines make my world a better place!
* thunderstorms

things about cape town i will not miss

* overcrowded, wildy veering taxi's with bass-driven ear-bursting techno music pounding away at my internal organs.
* my constant state of brokeness
* the smell. too many people here do not bathe. at all. and drink too much. and there's always someone who smells like broccoli. or wee.
* constant rain pissing down in winter- everything gets soggy and mif. oh and the howling gale-force wind every spring and autumn.
* R35 for a movie, R8 for a small popcorn!
* R100 buys you ten grocery items if you're LUCKY!
* the cliquey, snobby, label-conscious, social-climbing, backstabbing unfriendly capetown social scene.

i'll miss this place. it'll miss me too. hah.
