[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent 2 weeks there 5 years ago at age 33. I am an American woman of color. Obviously different experience than study abroad college age.
One of the most fantastic cities in the world. I was admittedly staying in Camps Bay, sightseeing, going to great restaurants, Stellenbosch for wine tasting and having an amazing time.
I also had a local friend there. She is an American who moved to there for work. She took me to township parties and to visit some of her friends.
I did not feel scared or concerned for my safety, but I was also vigilant and alert. 
I also was treated generally well by locals. 
One of the most beautiful cities in the world.[/quote]

Editing to add-
Joburg was a different story. The hotel I stayed at advised us to not walk anywhere at night and to use extreme caution. [/quote]

PP here. Your post reminded me that the story about being "guarded" as we walked from our conference bus to beach reception happened in Johannesburg.

The rest of my post applies to Cape Town, however. It is one of the most stunning cities (for physical beauty) that I have seen.[/quote]
