[quote=Anonymous]Capetown is very beautiful (its setting). You can take a short boat road and visit Robbin Island, which is so interesting historically. There are also penguins there, which I had not expected. BUT, South Africa is a very dangerous country, unfortunately. For example, at night the cab drivers told us they do not stop at traffic lights (even if they are red) because it is too dangerous (i.e., for armed robbery). Many businesses post signs that they guards carry guns. It also has the highest rates of sexual violence in the world. I would be nervous about sending my young adult child there. If she does go, make sure that she abides by the guidance of the school. When I was there for a conference, the organizers kept us on extremely tight leashes (for our safety). Like when we walked ten feet from the bus to the beach (for a reception), we were flanked on either side by security. Of course, many people go there and are fine...but this was my experience.[/quote]
