you actually hover at water level in a cage, they throw out the chumming, shark shows up, you hold your breath and go under. Depending on the # of people on the boat, you are in the cage from 5-10 min. There are others where you actually snorkel but unless you fukk around and get the Vince Carter of sharks, impossible for them to get in the cage
I live in Pretoria. To me, Durban is the spot. Less douchey than CPT. Don't get it wrong, Cape is beautiful and I really didn't get to discover it like I wanted to but pound for pound, Durban is better IMO.
Once you get adjusted to things like grocery stores, malls, etc. closing crazy early (like 6-8pm), it's no different. CBD's (central business districts) remind me of videos I saw of the Bronx in the 70s and crime is heavy there (robbery and the like). If you're not fully westernized and expect all the creature comforts of home, you can easily survive here. Went to Durban for the long weekend and my days consisted of waking up hungover, shower, breakfast, run the beach, shower, eat again, bum out on the beach and chill, meet broads, drink, party, drink, go back to my room.
Bet.....I can link up with you in both spots then. Definitely going to kick it in Durban. This is Table Mountain
hovering around 16.90-17.10 to 1.....actually hit 18-1 two weeks back. was eating LOVELY
Yo, what's TV like down there? Don't know. Cut cord like 5 years ago. AppleTV FTW
Is it tons of American shows on down there or is it like their own industry down there. From the ads I see around town, they show all the shows that we watch back there. Reality TV (Kardashians, RHOA) are really big among broads unfortunately
Movies too.
Is it like mostly "Star Wars" and "Straight Outta Compton" at the theatres, or is mostly original South African type stuff. Theaters in the hipster section of Joburg usually only shows Africa films, mostly SA and Nigerian/Kenyan. When it comes to pop culture, there's really no difference between us & them. I did see more white folks at SOC tho
And what's the quality of Tv, movies, music down there. They love house, I hate it. Will leave it at that
Who's the biggest rappers/singers down there? Wouldn't know but the few times I've seen SA hip hop artists videos, it's an exact replica of The Roots "What They Do" video. shyt is too funny but I don't knock it. They just mimic what they see and hear from artists in the States
Sorry to ask like 8 questions at once, but I was just wondering.
Long Street....all you need is there. It's in the City Bowl section of town. I didn't kick it there. I mostly do house parties and whatnot. But I've heard stories of people snorting coke at curbside cafes on Long St like Miami in the 80s. Beware, hookers will tell cops you raped them and you'll have to bribe them not to get arrested. Seems to be a big hustle now.
what dates you plan on coming fam? It's nothing to hop on a bird and get there for the low low
I've been to Lesotho, Swaziland, Eritrea (but that was back in like 02-03), had a long layover in Dakar once and got out and about but that was before the days of me snapping pics all the time. Even if you don't travel, everybody is from somewhere within the continent here. Like I went to Durban last week, met a family from Malawi now I'm going to a wedding they invited me to next month. The hospitality wasn't as big of a surprise but it is super appreciated that people I've never met in life take me in and treat me like I'm theirs. Real cool shyt manYou've only been to that country from what I know, so not the continent, you mean the country. If you get the job in Rwanda hit me up.
Lesotho and Swaziland are countries in South Africa with fake borders lol. Eritrea is nice though.
on my own continent, naw bruv, someone would catch a fade. I prefer central, not a cac insight for miles at a time, black on black midnight super sun black. Cacs on contract are located around CBD but they tippy toe and speak with a soft tone and visitor eyes. 
S.A have a very good comedy scene, sometimes they have shows at the Baxter Theater if you can catch one.
where you at fam? I sometimes checkout improv night at POPart in the Maboneng district on Sunday's. Before his immigration issues, apparently Mos popped up and did a couple of Sunday's there
you guys are prepping for elections soon right? heard it's kinda tense there
