The first thing I can tell you about Thabo, my
South Africa guide, was that he is the world's worst driver. From the airport
to the heart of the city, he did 100 km per hour, bypassing lorries, motorbikes
and taxi-vans crowed with people. The second thing was that he knew everybody
and everything about Cape Town. This was good for me.
On the first day, Thabo took me to the suburbs
with unpronounceable names — ORanjezicht — from where you can watch the sun go
down on Africa. The next day we went to Cape Flats, the run-down township where
the buildings were made of cardboard and rusty (生锈的) iron. It was truly vast — nearly a million people live here, side
by side. Skinny dogs slid out of the way as Thabo zoomed along roads of mud and
rotting rubbish. Some people waved, others stared. Children ran barefoot by the
car.
Later that night we walked around the busy
Victoria, Cape Town's most fashionable area. The contrast from the township
could not be greater: the smells of cooking rose from the kitchens — Asian,
French, Italian. The bars and restaurants were packed, and I soon found out
why. Cape Town is a paradise for gourmets (美食家), seafood-lovers and
people like me, who just like eating. We went into a charming little pubs, and
Thabo told me I couldn't leave Cape Town without trying some Cape seafood, so I
did. It's delicious.
On my final morning, we spent an hour sitting
outside a cafe. Then we were driving again, experiencing the diverse landscape
— green valleys. It was a great way to say goodbye to a place I knew only too
briefly. I promised myself, and Thabo, that I would be back.
