Cape Town General Tips by kenHuocj

Favorite Thing: If not the most beautiful seaport of the world,
then definitely in the TOP 3.

For the early sea-explorers from Portugal and maybe even China and Arabia,
the stormy Cape seas where the Indian and Atlantic meets, the warm and the cold currents with Neptune testing the seamen's navigational skills and their venturous spirits;

for travellers of the 20th century, be they they en-route to WWI or WWII
or the migrants from the old to the new world in the southern hemisphere, with the Union Catle Line or the Royal Inerocean Linethat trasnported so many Japanese from Japan to Brazil via the Cape,
they all saw the Table Mountain, with Devils Peak on the left and Signal Hill on the right in the calm of Table bay, often covered by the tablecloth of clouds.

Fondest Memory: >the people, their vitality;
>the nature , its easy proximity;
>winelands and fruit orchards;
>the foods, indicative of cultures from different corners of the world metting together;

Favorite Thing: Since Jan Van Riebeeck landed in Table Bay in April 1652, with the Khosian and other newcomers as echoed by the current Mayor Morkel, it is no wonder Newsweek earlier this year rated Cape Town as one of the world's top 5 Cultural Mecca.

" So this year we commemorate, with a new sense of inclusive patriotism and civic pride, the contribution made to this city over the centuries by all who have come to these shares to settle in the welcoming embrace of Table Mountain. British, Maylay, French, Xhosa, Portuguese and Khoisan, among others - all have left their mark on the cultural, social and political landscape of Cape Town.
These communities have worked together to develop a backward and humble victualling station into a modern metropolis which is increasingly making its mark as a globally-competitive city. "

Fondest Memory: It's is cosmopolitan, its, multiculturally interesting without being overbearing;

Its' food and wines excite and tittilate the palate;
