    It's so weird seeing people being so in awe of places that I take for granted, like Boulders and Chapman's Peak. Hope you enjoy your stay!
    Any other fellow Capetonians?

    I just came back from cape town last week, and I have to say it’s the most beautiful place in the world! I remember before I went, I use to watch Luis and your videos to get an idea of SA. Now, I watch this video and I want to go back!!

    Gave this thumbs up even before watching Raya..since you never ever disappoint :)
    You all seem to have coped pretty well with the water crisis there! Which, last I heard ( couple weeks back) has eased some..which is awesome news

    • @RayaWasHere
      @RayaWasHere  Před 6 lety +1

      Thank you Scott, your support means so much! It was actually much easier than I expected to get used to using significantly less water, and I don't know if I'll ever go back to using as much as I was before! I'm so so happy the crisis has eased a bit as well! 🙂

Awww this video reminded me of how I am just surrounded by beauty. I hope you had an amazing experience. You should totally take a drive to cape point next time, where the two oceans meet.

    I grew up in Cape Town and am still amazed by how beautiful it is. Great vid! I'm a bit confused about the bit about physical education getting cut out of the curriculum in 1994 as it was compulsory for me all the way up to 1999 when I left. Interested to know where this info came from or if other South Africans had a different experience to me.
