Sly, as a Capetonian I've been enjoying your videos and comments. You're right in there! On the weather: the cliche (truth) is that in Cape Town you get 4 seasons in one day. Future travellers keep that in mind.

_"4 seasons in one day."_ What--you mean it might snow in Cape Town, S. Africa? ;-)

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all of the Cape Town videos. We are going in late November and have been watching all of your videos. Also, we are Washingtonians as well.

Another great vlog today 👊🏿 18 to 1 is balling I like that grocery store

Hey, my brother thank you for the content, my brother. I Love your work. Was nice meeting you last Friday lol in Cape Town.

I thoroughly enjoyed your videos and I especially enjoyed seeing the prices and the conversion to dollars. Thanks so much for sharing. I think that the general rule is that the larger the local content is in terms of labor (like the hotel) the lower is the price in USD. The lower the local content (like those shaving blades) the more the price approximates what we pay over in the U.S.

Wow Tnx bro good

enjoy the sunny South Africa👍

Great video content is always!! Cant wait to go! What about the load shedding?? Can you give us some insights on just that?

Good job bro..❤️🙌🏽😊

I don't believe we have a law against filming inside stores. Some security guards just gets excited at being able to act out.

@@southpaw63 dude is in one of the safest areas in CPT, just some of the guards are over excited when they are given a task to do and too ignorant at times just that.

While gloomy in CT we have a heat wave in Johannesburg. Many stores don't like you recording. Some stores are competitive. Spars are franchises. Sometimes the lay out or how they display their products or dress the store can make them better than others.... so there was likely a sign telling you not to record in store. Fruit and Veg (food lovers market) they have asked me not to record... when I asked why...the security told me they are protecting their displays. Other people come and steal the ideas and layout. There is a lot of psychology behind where food is placed in a store. Eg: milk and bread are always near the back. So you need to pass other products. Fruit and veg are usually near the front door, giving you the idea of healthy, fresh and wholesome....

Excellent video. I was and maybe still am planning on "snowbirding" there for three months in January (from the Great White north, Canada).

Hello there Sly hope you having a wonderful time in Cape town,,,

I'm new to your channel! Loving your videos. Btw, I won't judge you lol those bubble teas are my favorite too 😛

South African cities are just as modern and even better in many cases than the best American cities in southern California such as the Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino county areas which I am very familiar..

Great video man, I just started my research on becoming an expat from the states heading to Cape Town. I've heard that cell phone theft is extremely common. Let me ask you, is that correct? I was curious to know what exactly are you using to record this video because I hear that walking around with their cell phone and recording is a big No-No. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Don't go jogging with your phone at night. If you going on a hike to some lonely spot...go with friends. Just be aware to not make yourself an easy target.
