1. It has very scenic and varied landscapes...you could be anywhere in the world
2. The many cultures, Afrikaans, Cape Coloureds, Zulus, xhosas, Asian Indians, mixed in with the Dutch, French, Germans, and on and on.
3. Cusine a direct product of 2...culture ....interesting blend of foods.
4. The National Parks, the World Heritage Sites, Cape Point, the Atlantic Seaboard and Cape Winelands...transit heist (laughing...naaah, it ain't funny but it is).
5. Languages: The mix of Xhosa, Afrikaans, and what ever else with English thrown in the middle for flavour...laughing...that's pretty cool.

I've been living in Cape Town for a year and a half now and these are my top five;

5) The scenery
4) So much to do, doing nothing here is going to the one of our oceans to enjoy a beautiful sunset
3) Going out to eat/drink is very affordable
2) The people are cool
1) I have travelled a LOT in my life and was always sad to come back home, since I've lived here, I cannot wait for my trips to end.
