First impressions:

- Table Mountain looks rather less like a table than a mountain.
- The 'must-see' Waterfront area is more like Chadstone than Chadstone.
- Green Point Stadium looks exactly like it does on the telly, although now that the World Cup is over no bastard is using it anymore.
- We have been murdered and raped four times, trufax.
- THERE IS A GIANT MAN MADE COMPLETELY OF COKE CRATES. SERIOUSLY WE ARE TALKING MINIMUM 20M HIGH. I CAN NOT ADEQUATELY STRESS HOW RIDICULOUSLY COOL THIS IS.
- A pleasing and respectful series of statues of Nobel prize recipients is ruined/enhanced by aforementioned GIANT COKE CRATES MAN, resulting directly in the single best/worst photo I have ever taken.
- There's something you're supposed to do when a bloke appears from nowhere and hassles you for two rand and chases you up and down the fucking supermarket but I've not worked out what it is yet. Currently working on the assumption that giving him two rand will not solve anyone's problem.
- Billboards indicate that Michael Jackson is currently touring here. I haven't worked out that one either.
- No pub-style parmas, even in pubs.

NB: Feel free to consider this the next in the series of '<person> reviews <thing> because as an insomniac, he can't sleep just yet' as I typed this at 4 am and am jet-lagged up the goona.

The shops have electrified steel gates at the door, and there's a man with 200 eggs on his head. These facts may or may not be related.

I sense a money-making opportunity there!
