You know you are in Cape Town/South Africa when...

- During a walk in the wild woods, you encounter baboons, reedbucks, bushbucks, frogs, guinea fowls, and ostriches. This is the real wild ! Yet, the best part was still the raw nature.

- The president makes headlines for saying: "Spending money on buying a dog, taking it to the vet and for walks belonged to white culture and was not the African way". Of course, he did not have anything against the fact that he was giving "Christmas gifts" at the same meeting. Christmas probably existed in the Zulu culture before the arrival of the whites...
- You can't swim in the Ocean, because there is a SHARK ALERT. Everybody was directed out of the water, including by the police car seen on the right. For once, South Africans were quite disciplined n not crossing the (shore)line.

- You can not swim in the Ocean, because there are too many penguins around.

 - You find the best cheesecake in the world, among the twenty that you tried! Slight exaggeration, twenty would have meant having eaten more than one per day... I am not far.

- The new serie of the banknotes has a politician/ex-president on the front. OK, the notes are quite colorful and the politician is Nelson Mandela. So, it is quite ok... Let's hope it does not set a precedent.

 - The waiting time at your favorite beach restaurant is more than 90 minutes.

- The entrance to the iconic Kirstenbosch botanical gardens costs more and more at each visit.

- The South African cricket team is so efficient that, once I entered the stadium, I got to see only seven balls with the last two wickets falling. The Proteas thrashed the Kiwis.
