7. The rainbow nation: SA is known as the rainbow nation, and one of the major reasons I love this city/ country so much. The number of languages I hear on any given day can be upwards of 15, no joke. SA alone has 11 official languages although around Cape Town one usually only hears three. I know this is mainly because I live in Obz and go to university that I'm around a lot more international people, but still last week on the shuttle I heard 5 different conversions in 5 different languages. I'm only slightly embarrassed of my non-poly linguistic language abilities.
8. 'Rush week': I dislike the fact that are the students have come back and have taken over the campus and thus making me wait in lines for food and help. But I am so impressed with all the clubs and groups here that set up booths for a few days around campus. They had climbing walls, a bar, trampoline and so much more. It was a lot of fun and some very cool groups: surfing, underwater club (scuba), ballroom dancing, mountain and ski club and hundreds more. If DAL had this many groups and clubs I definitely missed that, but than again I'm such a joiner.
9. Colour Pens: I have taken a real liking to brightly coloured pens, pinks, greens, blues, purples etc... Main reason people don't steal them as much and those who do are easy to catch.
10. Film festivals: There are so many film festivals around Cape Town - and most are free!!! Canadian film festival starts today hopefully it will be good because after the Israeli one we went to the bar is set high.

If you ever get a chance to see the Canadian film "Everything's Gone Green" you shouldn't miss it.
And I know what you mean about the undergrads. I wish a school composed only of grad students was viable.
