Congratulations to you for this remarkable video about Cape Town, South Africa in October of 2022❤❤❤

[@sierralafaye]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@robynwood8308]

Welcome to SA 🇿🇦!! We should've warned you about the weather out here, extremely hot. Your Toni & Guy flat iron is one of the best though, I use one myself. While you out in Cape Town, don't forget to visit Table Mountain, Robben Island and check out wine tastings. Looking forward to seeing the hair content you create in this hot and humid weather of ours.

[@sierralafaye]

Thank you soooo much ☺️ yay! I’m glad I picked up the right flat iron! I didn’t even hear about Robben Island so I’ll make sure to check it out! Thanks so much for your support and I’m too curious about how this straight hair gonna work in SA 😂

[@abm5707]

Last year and early this year, we had Taylor (from the US), this year we have Sierra. Welcome to Africa. Wishing you a good stay and enjoy learning a new culture if not a new language 😁

[@sierralafaye]

Thank you sooooo much! It feels like home here! Def would love to start to learn some of the language here!

I'm trying to save money to visit. At the rate I'm going, I should make it there by 2052. Can't wait!! 😜

[@sierralafaye]

Ah nah!!!!! Need you here in 2022!

[@Karl3Lang]

Hey Shari just to give you a heads up the most expensive thing about going to SA is your plane ticket, your hotel/accommodation, food travelling around is inexpensive and the experience for you as AA will be out of this world from receiving first class service in restaurants and everywhere you go without them expecting something in return because it is just a norm, also its the best country to experience Africa for the first time if you are a bit worried about cultural shocks 😂. On the real if you can afford to go on vacation in any of the major tourist cities in the US then you can definitely afford to go on a trip to SA, you can spend more money on vacation to Vegas, Miami, NYC etc than you would in Cape Town which is the most expensive city in SA😊. Please do some research you will realize travelling outside the US is now actually more affordable than ever before and some cases even cheaper and definitely better than going on vacation in the US especially for those individuals that are blessed with the extra melanin. I don't know how much convincing I have to do here 😂 but I will share something with you🤫 I'm not sure you are aware your neighbors from the caucasus mountains they are all over the place cities like Cape Town is full of them on vacation, it's their play ground. Then what is stopping our brothers and sisters coming then????

[@Peace2dagawdz]

I just made it to Cape Town from Memphis. This place is breathtaking

[@sierralafaye]

Isn’t it!!! U have to every tourist thing u can before u go back to the States!

[@Peace2dagawdz]

@Sierra LaFaye hey! Do you have a favorite restaurant here. I'm going to fyn Saturday

[@sierralafaye]

@@Peace2dagawdz I need to go out to more restaurants but I really enjoyed Karibu which is at the waterfront and getting to eat dinner while watching the sunset has been one of my favorite experiences so far! I also like Clarkes which is on Bree street-on Saturday-Sunday from 10am-2pm they have ZAR 25 mimosas and I love to go there for lunch to get that and their baby burgers with avo & bacon! I HIGHLY recommend you do the hop on hop off bus, I did it the other day and you get to see so much of the city and learn the history of it

[@Peace2dagawdz]

@@sierralafaye I took the helicopter ride to robben Island. Are you going to see wakanda. Which is the better theatre

[@ScissorN]

Hau welcome home bandla, load shedding is us having nostalgia for olden days when we survived without electricity... We always take few ours to remember where we come from 😏😉😁

[@sierralafaye]

Yes! Load shedding does force you to stop and just appreciate the moment sometimes so it’s not all bad!

[@SuperFilicia]

Nope we normally dont have plugs \outlets in the bathrooms. Glad to see you are settling in so well.For now just do all the touristy things as to get to know and get a feel of the country . You know , things like visiting District six ,going up Table mountain with the cable car. Going to a winefarm for wine tasting. Checking out the beautifull beaches etc. But... pls be safe !!!

[@sierralafaye]

Wow! I’m learning so much while I’m here! Def can’t wait to do the wine tours, vineyards, etc and have def been taking extra precautions to be safe!

[@Karl3Lang]

@@sierralafaye Also in Britain & Ireland most houses and apartments do not have plug outlets in the bathroom, the only electric outlet you may find in few houses its for plugging a shaving machine, it's usually located on the bathroom mirror and has low voltage 110V -120V. USA use 120V as standard that is the main reason when you travel to SA and Europe etc you need to purchase a special adapter with a converter which is inexpensive in order to use your electronic products, the voltage standard in these countries is roughly 230V which will fry your US hairdryer if you plug it directly into the outlet on the wall😂

[@ladynefertitibk]

[@SisiphoAmelieLeeZinja]

I think you should get a voltage amplifier for your hairdryers and irons. I find that sometimes American products have a higher voltage than allowed in South Africa. So for products to work, you need this device. I am also in Cape Town, can help you with navigating the city etc. Enjoy!

[@sierralafaye]

Thanks so much! We got one and now the blow dryer works! I love everyone I've meet here from SA, you all are truly some of the nicest people in the world! Would love to know your recommendations of where I should go/do before I head back to the States!

This looks like such an amazing experience. Take your time with the content. Safety first. That load shedding thing sounds so inconvenient. I guess make sure you get plenty of candles. Can't wait to see more. I'm living vicariously through you.😂

[@sierralafaye]

Thank you!!! I will make sure to stay safe! The load shedding is such an inconvenience but was told today to look at it as a time to relax, read a book, go to the beach, it simply rest so when it was put in that perspective I think I can work with it a little more! Thank you as always for supporting 😊

[@kikikareema5912]

I think my blow dryer is dying out. I only got it 5 months ago and don't use it everyday. I didn't know you moved to Cape Town. Would you say it's more expensive than the U.S.?

[@sierralafaye]

That’s so weird it’s dying out that quick, I wonder if you can call the manufacturer about it. & Yes! I’ve been in Cape Town for a couple of months now and LOVE IT! It’s wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more affordable than the usa

Thank you!!! I can’t wait to see the penguins!! And def do the wine tastings! The wine in my opinion is stronger here than what I’m used to so def gotta be careful!

[@luriescorner]

The lady at Clicks who said keep your receipt in case it don't work said so because of the return policy. Many stores do so for electronics and you usually have up to a few months to return something

So I have T-Mobile and I’m supposed to have international coverage with data roaming on but it has never worked no matter what country I go to. It’s easier to just purchase a prepaid SIM card in the country your in and use it to get phone service and internet
