Downton Cape Town has a lot to offer. I explored the hidden corners of Long Street while subjecting my body to little needles piercing my body 45 times a second and discussing American politics with a local. Get ready for a wild ride!
This video was re-uploaded because the original contained political talk which KZbin frowns upon. However, even uploading a new version didn't undo the damage. If you'd like to see the original view it here: rumble.com/v5g...

[@funkwallah]

that is not bobotie mate - you wuz robbed !

[@glaubs65]

It was strange bobotie

[@DevinZA]

Walking around with a camera in that area alone is a BOLD move, that man was not kidding. Also, you were only like 500 yards from the Castle of Good Hope, you were next to the National Houses of Parliament.

[@AddyGoesPlaces]

I felt perfectly safe. Perhaps I was just naive, but I never felt uncomfortable... well.. mostly.

[@DevinZA]

@@AddyGoesPlaces Cape Town CBD is *generally* safe for like murder and kidnappings and such but the Cape Town Central Police Station (about a 5min walk from where you were) records more cases of theft and robbery than any other station in the country. I am impressed by your dedication to just walking around and discovering as you go, I live Cape Town and I make sure i research everywhere before I go, my anxiety is too much. 😂

[@AhmadIbrahimAD]

I live in down town, Canadian here for work. One thing I’d suggest is to double check the safety of certain areas. The station with the market you went to is somewhere I personally would never go to, especially with anything I’m not willing to have stolen. It’s not that the station is inherently dangerous but it is a place where a lot of foot traffic of people from (unfortunately) poorer areas are mostly come. Most are honest good to God people who are just there because it’s their only way into the city and they need to travel for work, but unfortunately the areas these trains service are rife with crime and murder, so you can expect that opportunistic criminals will hitch a ride to go into Town to rob and terrorize. It’s the unfortunate reality of the economic situation in Cape Town and South African as a whole. Glad you were safe, but certain areas are more likely to experience crime than others. This was definitely one of them.

[@soda7-j9y]

The Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock is definitely worth a visit.

[@gertjancosterus]

Next time, you should get someone in South Africa to host you at a braai. Also look into spending a few days in the Cape Winelands next time. Some really nice eats are Rooti's, Gatsby's, potjiekos, paptert and like I said getting yourself invited to a braai.

[@hanneliewiese3477]

There are do many food markets and wine farms in Cape Town - just a few kms from the cbd. What about Kirstenbosch Gardens, and the Cable Car ...

[@GerhardB]

Make sure you stick to populated area's. Visit Cape of Good Hope, winelands, Table Mountain, trip around the peninsula, Hout Bay, V&A Waterfront are a few ideas, seafood and fish in Hout Bay is the best also visit places like Muizenberg and Kalk Bay as well as Cape Point. You were also very lucky that someone asked you too leave that area.

[@SiphoSbu-hx8st]

Addy💯

[@FemParagon]

Do you ever do any kind of research on a country before you get there? I think if you did your trips would be more enriched and SAFER.

[@alexiachamberlin8019]

That building is the Houses of Parliament not the castle

[@hendrikvanblerk1862]

Your lion riff was very funny!

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Bootie you should have in the Bo-Kaap or at one of the fancy restaurants at a wine farm that also serves traditional Cape food

[@ntandosibiya2254]

19:15 is the parliament not a castle

[@alexiachamberlin8019]

The company is the Dutch East India Company

[@theblessingbg]

Top Deck Cape Town, you were definitely not safe up there, that gentlemen may have saved you and your valuables.

[@glaubs65]

Dutch East India Company. Jan van Riebeek. 1652. Came to South Africa. The castle is not in the gardens. It's a ways away.

[@charliesadv8493]

The bird you saw in the Company Gardens is a Hadeda Ibis, which is well known, and noisy bird. You either love them or hate them, because of the noise it makes. Original from Sub-Sahara

[@alastairgordon-forbes3139]

That was a very strange Bobotie. It should be highly spiced and very tasty. Not a stew at all. You were VERY VERY lucky you were not mugged. That was the station deck, a most unsafe place.

[@linsampson5308]

That is absolutely NOT boboti -- looks revolting

[@SchalkBruwer]

Repost? How come? I’ll rewatch it in anycase :)

[@AddyGoesPlaces]

KZbin didn't like the political talk with the taxi driver at the end, so I removed it.

[@SchalkBruwer]

@@AddyGoesPlaces seriously? That was the best part. And from memory it was pretty objective.

[@GerhardB]

The Hungry Lion is a food franchise.

[@gstar3569]

Don’t bother it’s take away crap

[@gstar3569]

You should go to Kloof street house for great food

[@rashy_dee8397]

Thats the weirdest bobotie presentation I have ever seen. You should have visited a traditional Cape Malay restaurant for authentic bobotie!

[@mikedocherty536]

Mmm.... As someone who grew up and and went to Cape Town once a week when I was a wee lad...... Cape Town is the best city in the world (genuine !)..... But as in any city across the world..... 💩 happens.... In Cape Town you have to remember....... Do Not Take 💩 From Anyone !!!

[@AddyGoesPlaces]

I really enjoyed my time in Cape Town. I am planning to go back to Africa and Cape Town will definitely be on my list of places again.

[@glaubs65]

Lions are not endangered and you cannot get lion meat. Maybe in the far east somewhere.

[@gstar3569]

23:40 you should speak to locals about where not to go

[@glaubs65]

Yes it's naive. You hang around that market for too long you're sure to get robbed.

[@alexiachamberlin8019]

No we don't eat lions!

[@glaubs65]

Get a boerewors roll rather than McDonalds. (I'm doing too many comments, hey?)

[@gstar3569]

Ya you should never go there 23:06

[@glaubs65]

I don't know why but those Cape Town English accents annoy the hell out of me. Probably cos Im from Joburg.

[@berniduivestein8894]

Which CT accent. There are many 😂.

[@glaubs65]

@@berniduivestein8894 The white English Cape Town ahksent, like you know? Maybe its what they say as well 'These gemstones are entirely organically sourced.' 'Like, we've got such problems with baboons in Scarborough you know'. Coloured accent is cool.
