Most Cape Townians are very kind and good people, but only until they get behind the wheel. I would say keep your eyes peeled, because they are more likely to run you over than let you pass. And yes, pedestrians don't wait for the green light; waiting for that gift of fate is almost impossible. Then came the question of finding a job, of which there is plenty in Cape Town. Within the first hour of searching (we just printed a bunch of our CVs at the SASTS office and handed them out to all the bars and restaurants we liked in all the tourist spots of Cape Town), we had already received two offers each, and the next day I started training at one of the places, and a few days later at another. Then a couple of other places called, and after doing a small survey of the population ;D, I settled on two bars, and now I work two jobs: as a waitress at the lounge and bar "Neighbourhood" and as a barmaid at the Italian cocktail bar "Big Route". The shifts here are reasonable; officially, shifts are no more than 8 hours (otherwise, demand extra pay!), and sometimes even less. And the teams are just incredibly cool! I'm just enjoying working here; everyone is simple and so willing to help, explain, and encourage.
