- Went to Starbucks for an iced coffee (South Africa makes you a frappacino when you ask for iced coffee)
- Visited the best pizzeria in Boston, Upper Crust. Cape Town’s DaVinci’s is great, but man it has nothing on these guys.
- Stared out the window at all the white people.
- Looked the wrong way for a minute when I was trying to cross the street.
- Walked around after dark just to do it.
- Used up obscene amounts of bandwidth because it doesn’t cost me anything now (though had we been on a proper uncapped plan in SA, I suppose that wouldn’t have been so bad).
I’ve got a few more things on my list to do – I’ll probably guzzle some ketchup (too sweet/watery in South Africa), eat peanut butter (they add sugar to it there), and try to hail a minibus taxi only to realize that they don’t exist here. I’m so glad to be back, but I kind of can’t believe I’m not in Cape Town. I keep getting the urge to type in present tense when referring to the city, or when explaining it to friends in the US using “here” instead of “there.” Ah, what a wonderful city. Pictures and posts over the next week when I get the urge to do it. For now, I’m off to use bandwidth.
