I have been in this country for 3 days, just cross the border from Kosi bay of South Africa. The part of country I have been to is a resort next to a beach, very beautiful, very nice and it is not expensive to eat or stay. However, there is no road but all sand tracks and you will need a 4×4. Rumour is that there are live mines around and so stay within the sand tracks.

We went out to a very nice (yet cheap) bar/restaurant/disco one of the nights, I had the best creme brulee ever. We went through some really badlly bombed streets and seen some really poor people.

So,

-beware of Mines

-Get a 4×4

-book into resorts early

-see the bombed streets.

This place is represent the typical asian city (just smaller), I spent 5 years in this city, the people are generally friendly. There is a few fun things to do around in town and you can also visit the Sentosa Island and the Singapore river. If you are going for a shopping spree, remember to ask for GST receipt for a refund of GST when you leave town. It gets dull if you spend more than 2 days in this place.

Go simon town and see penguin, You can stop by here while on the way to cape point. There is this superb beach and free walking penguins. THere is this very nice backpacker in town and also numerous restaraunt and bars. People are friendly and it is really worth going.
