Cape Town was founded by the Dutch East India Company as a supply station on the route to India and ever since has serviced ships passing around the tip of Africa. The opening of the Suez Canal would've surely made traffic past the Cape of Good Hope lessen, I'm curious what this impact was and how the people of Cape Colony viewed it.
I am from the US, Philadelphia to be exact. I am 18, a freshman in college. I would be at UCT for a semester, Autumn 2022. Anything that should be brought to my intention? Also, are there vegetarian options for me?
Hi guys I see someone posted this previously I was reading the comments and was alarmed. Maybe I need to rethink my negotiating with my company. I'm moving to Cape Town from Durban as off the 1st of March still negotiating salary with my company. Here's a list of my expenses currently and obviously expenses I imagine would come when I stay I'm CT
I'm going to look to take a bond and buy either a house in a complex in Century City I'm looking for a 2 bedroom apartment.
I'm a single guy no kids not married
I have my own car paid off but will look for a new car next year
Clothing expenses 1000 Cellphone 1000 Fibre 800 Utilities 1200 Investments 3000 Grocery and living 6000
They currently offering me 45000 after all taxes and deductions (med aid etc)
But will that be enough I'm highly skeptical now after seeing the comments about cost of living in Cape town
I go out to eat like once ot twice a week I'm not to fancy or fussy but that's not to say I wouldn't wana try fine dining once in a while
I like road trips and would like to save up for a holiday at least once a year whether it's a drive down to durban or even an international trip after a good year
I have crushed my interview so I believe that I have some leeway to negotiate but I don't wana go in and ask for a figure that's absurd I want to have an idea of the type of life I can lead with the 44k monthly offered
Just a bit more info I'm 30 and I'm a specialist in operations at a big company they currently offering me a senior operations role I have approx 3 years exp in that exact role and a further 3 in customer relations and a further 3 in business relations and improvement.
Thank you
Preferably the less obvious ones (like Beaverlac). Doesn't need to be child or pet friendly.
What I'd like to know is:
What is a good bicycle for a beginner?
What are some good trails to get started on?
Advice on safety gear and best practices.
Any other advice you have.

There are loads of places that offer free entry on your birthday in Cape Town (aquarium, table mountain cable car, etc) and Iβm super keen to visit as many as possible this year, but anyone I take with who doesnβt share a birthday (or at least a birthday week) with me would have to pay full price. Thought Iβd take a shot and see if anyone here would like to join?
