    Been there 3 times. I live in Scotland. My main concern is Crime. As I retire my mind often heads to Camps Bay or maybe into Harbour Area (Victoria and Albert?) I do not need large groups of friends or even small groups. I might drop u a line Sean.

    For someone like myself who has moved to Cape Town, 10 months ago, not having any friends or family down here at all. The best advice I can give someone looking to move here is make sure you prepare yourself mentally. It won't be easy but with a positive mindset setting up clear goals and objectives, not getting distracted and staying focused on the plan, it gets better. The biggest factor that made it easier to cope with things was MONEY. Your salary is a BIG FACTOR so make sure you moving for a job that pays you good enough to enjoy nice things once in a while. With all the vibes and the scenes Cape Town is known for, you need money to do some things here and there otherwise you'll be miserable trying to save for a life that you might not have the opportunity to live if you were to die. Love and enjoy your life. I'm grateful I have the opportunity to do that. God bless your people❤

    I had a student from Capetown, (I live in the Northern Hemisphere) and she arrived in September. By November she had gone into a full blown clinical depression and had to return to Capetown she missed it so much. The weather and closed in feeling of where she was living here really affected her. She told me that every morning on her way to work she could see Table Mountain and the Ocean .

    LOVE LOVE LOVE Cape Town winters. And "cold" needs to be defined. I think "cold" is less than 5 degrees Celsius. Very few days or nights a year are less than 5 degrees in Cape Town. Usually only when there are snow on the mountains. It usually snows 2 or 3 times a year (high on the mountains) and the snow rarely lasts for more than 3 days.

    I have been living in Cape Town since early childhood. The Northern suburbs beyond Tygerberg-koppie (Bellville/Durbanville suburbs) enjoy way less wind than most other suburbs. Rainfall is also less than most other suburbs. Floods in most Durbanville suburbs is unknown. Newlands situated in the Southern suburbs has the highest rainfall. The city of Cape Town and the Atlantic coast are subjected to the worst wind conditions. We rent furnished apartments in the Northern Suburbs and the current semigration to the Western Cape is observable.

    Depending where in Capetown you want to settle. Visit Eastern cape recently, and boy oh boy how did we miss cape Town. Service from restaurants to government is like day and night. Here in CT the restaurants are much better and food service and quality of food is higher than Eastern cape. Never I dug for potholes in my life. Man on the flippen highway, and nobody stops at traffic lights and stopstreets. The only move will be to garden route if you want value and peace for your money

      I never got the "cliquey" comment. I hear it a lot but I just don't see it... I live in the Northern suburbs so maybe it's area based? I know some people are confused by the fact that we can be very friendly in bars, or on beaches, but that doesn't necessarily mean we want to exchange numbers, keep in contact etc. I always tell people that if you talk to everyone you can't be friends with everyone.

      All factors considered in a holistic empirical fashion,not only looking at that which is negative,in a world wide focus,Cape Town was adjudged as being the second best city in the world,after New York.Show me any large city in the world which is not considered to be over populated and does not have heavy traffic..(population of about 5 million and larger,like Cape Town).Most coastal cities tend to be windy seasonally .The wind rids the city of pollution and thereby adds to your health...not to mention the sporting possibilities which it provides,eg. sailing,surfing and kite board sailing. Please do deepen your knowledge of geography in general,including ocean currents,and you will realize that there is a variation in sea temp depending on which beach you go to...
