Sly, as a Capetonian I've been enjoying your videos and comments. You're right in there! On the weather: the cliche (truth) is that in Cape Town you get 4 seasons in one day. Future travellers keep that in mind.
While gloomy in CT we have a heat wave in Johannesburg. Many stores don't like you recording. Some stores are competitive. Spars are franchises. Sometimes the lay out or how they display their products or dress the store can make them better than others.... so there was likely a sign telling you not to record in store. Fruit and Veg (food lovers market) they have asked me not to record... when I asked why...the security told me they are protecting their displays. Other people come and steal the ideas and layout. There is a lot of psychology behind where food is placed in a store. Eg: milk and bread are always near the back. So you need to pass other products. Fruit and veg are usually near the front door, giving you the idea of healthy, fresh and wholesome....
@Sly's Life.. With you being from Seattle; I'm surprise you don't have that thick Seattle accent. I lived in Seattle for over 20 years out of Louisiana, and I sound like I was born and raised there.. Ha! Ha! My accent is straight-up Seattle now. Anyway, thank you for providing such good content my brother! Keep it going!
South African cities are just as modern and even better in many cases than the best American cities in southern California such as the Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino county areas which I am very familiar.. This is by far the best infrastructure country that I have observed on the African continent..
@@kabelomatji8211😂😂😂😂 Yes South Africans migrate, not everyone has the life they want in SA thus, they move to America, Australia, England etc. I have met South Africans in the USA.
I thoroughly enjoyed your videos and I especially enjoyed seeing the prices and the conversion to dollars. Thanks so much for sharing. I think that the general rule is that the larger the local content is in terms of labor (like the hotel) the lower is the price in USD. The lower the local content (like those shaving blades) the more the price approximates what we pay over in the U.S.
Should have told that security guard in Spar to get lost, in SA se have no laws that prohibits one from filming in a supermarket, especially not if you're using your cell phone camera or a GoPro and not filming "commercially" or professionally but just for yourself such as these videos.
Western style Western and European culture. Where is the African culture and creativity? This is for those who are affiliated with the traditional Arab culture and style. We are at least of African origin. Everything is Western, and even Africans rely on Western languages.
Sup man. Let me know if you wanna let me take you around to a few places, I’m keen to show you more of the real Cape Town, from a locals perspective. Let me know.
The cornflakes price on the shelf is wrong even for Spar prices (Probably placed on the wrong shelf 🤔). Good thing the price at the till is picked up from the barcode label.
Yo,this is my mobility radious, I live and work in the CBD, when I die my ghost will be lurking here.Good to see my dairy life through your life. Ps: No load shedding in Town for economical reasons.
@@bandile21 Actually that's a rule in SA, most criminals use video's to plan out heists in malls hence that law was introduced, poor man wasn't being extra it's a mandate that was given to him.
Great video man, I just started my research on becoming an expat from the states heading to Cape Town. I've heard that cell phone theft is extremely common. Let me ask you, is that correct? I was curious to know what exactly are you using to record this video because I hear that walking around with their cell phone and recording is a big No-No. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks man!
Hi sir I m born and bred capetonian there are places you can expose yr cell ph especially malls and retail places.but on the cape flats/townships its a no no.its an item that thieves/druggies can easy convert to quick cash.tourist or local must be vigilant
Thank you for the video! I always wanted to go to South Africa. Is it safe for a white American to visit? I heard of the high crime there? Is it an exaggeration?
It's the same way gang violence and police brutality is exaggerated in America. I'm not saying it doesn't happen I'm saying that it's unlikely to happen to a tourist
there are more White people in Cape Town, than any other place in Africa,,you will blend in..if you watch Sly's videos of Cape Town, you will notice that there are White people all over Cape Town,,
I am a white South African. It is generally safe. Just be alert. People are very friendly. (All South Africans) so you can always ask for advice from shop assistants about the area or your air bnb host... There are areas, just like in any country where you should not go walking around alone... but in general I have had many of my family from EU visit and the have loved their stays and have returned. Don't go jogging with your phone at night. If you going on a hike to some lonely spot...go with friends. Just be aware to not make yourself an easy target. You do not need to worry about the tone of your skin.
Love your video's Sly! Thank you. I'm an old man from South Africa and enjoy looking at our beautiful country through your eyes.
Where are you based now?
South Africa is a very large modern clean nation that ranks among the most beautiful countries in the world, and not just in Africa...
I don't believe we have a law against filming inside stores. Some security guards just gets excited at being able to act out.
There are too many arm robbery cases recorded in South Africa,so take it cool homie

_"4 seasons in one day."_ What--you mean it might snow in Cape Town, S. Africa? ;-)
Bless up, currently living in Rwanda. Might have to visit the south
Thanks for all of the Cape Town videos. We are going in late November and have been watching all of your videos. Also, we are Washingtonians as well.
SPAR is the most expensive store. If possible use other supermarket like PnP.
Yeah who even shops at SPAR, those prices are laterally double compare to Checkers and Pick n Pay. I'm surprised there's even people shopping there.

Imported grapes in a city surrounded by vineyards...
Did you enjoy Cape Town or Durban more ? And in your opinion witch felt more safe and witch at more women
Great video content is always!! Cant wait to go! What about the load shedding?? Can you give us some insights on just that?
The Cornflakes are a rip-off, I think you should try the supermarkets.
where is the best place to exchange currency when you arrive in Cape Town?
IMAGINE PAYING 125 FOR A 750g BOX OF KELLOGS
What’s your camera set up? Are you using a stabilization tool?
I paid R84 for 1kg Kelloggs cornflakes at Pick n Pay, two days ago, Spar is a rip-off!!
That price was not for cornflakes
i was like 130 for cornflakes?
All those chemical based westernise products smh. Great video Sly

The R139.99 is for Nestle nesquik cereal not Corn Flakes, the box to right is in the wrong row

The imported cereals go for those prices. But normal old Kellogs CF... prob around R75 for the 750g box.
