Title: Re: Cape Town Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 12:55:27 depends on where you are gonna be staying. I lived in a studenty part of cape town and loved it. Security issues are obvious but if you keep your wits about you, you will be fine. I managed to spend two years there staggering back shitfaced from the pub without getting mugged, yet met a backpacker who got mugged twice in a week. In my time there I also had my cash card stolen t a cashpoint and my car stolen! Card wasnt a problem as I spotted the distraction technique. Car was a bit more of a problem. But after that I was shown a nice little way of disabling the car in a non obvious way, and they are not goign to spend time looking under the bonnet to steal a car.
Basically, Fantastic place to live but like any city, keep your wits about you. Oh, and never use the K word!!! Title: Re: Cape Town Post by: tans on Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 13:08:39 what, kaffa

Hatfield isn't all bad..after all signposts leaving London used to indicate Hatfield and the North. Clearly this put Hatfield on a par with the north. There used to be a band by the name, Hatfield and the North but they were a bit shit.
