It might be because I just left a 3rd world country, it may be because Johannesburg painted such a terrible picture of South Africa or it could be that its almost identical to Hobart but Cape Town is one the most beautiful cities I have enjoyed this year. Cape Town was en rout to my next leg and I'd allowed a quick 3 days to see and do whatever I could squeeze in. I started with a leap from the lions head and then a visit to Nelson Mandelas prison on Robben Island. A trip to the fluffy African penguins down at Boulders Beach and then met 4 Germans and another Aussie who together hiked up Table Mountain. At the top the clouds flowed over the apostles like a slow motion waterfall and when the sun eventually set the sight was truly majestic.
Soon after I was meeting up with Leow Mei Yi in Kuala Lumper, Malaysia. A friend who's studying at Utas she insisted that I should come to over so she could show me her country. To be honest after experiencing everything Africa had to offer I just couldn't get the energy to go out and explore properly. With 3 days Mei Yi and I just walked around the capital experiencing the culture: shopping, eating, fish foot massage, etc.. Id hate to be the fish that's gotta nibble feet all day but my feet loved it. I took a lot of willpower to do it since I'm extremely ticklish. Mei Yi on the other hand had no problems, she's pretty tough :o)Hmm not as much Bobby humour in this blog compared to others. Maybe a lame joke will balance it out.
Q: What do snowmen eat for breakfast?
