Cape Town inspired me to create this site. I spent several month in this beautifull place in 2010 and had a chance to watch as Cape Town perked before the soccer World cup, as the city welcomed and entertained tourists and fans and said to them farewell, as streets and road quickly got back to its normal state after that.
I studied the place as a tourist by trying and watching everything of interest. I learnt the city as a migrant by getting acquainted with the area, buying food and cloths, attending home affairs and other official departments, meeting people and trying to find a job.
Все, что меня удивило, порадовало, развеселило, показалось инетерсным или оказалось полезным знать, я записала на камеру и создала для вас серию двухминутных сюжетов, которую назвала 100 фактов о Кейптауне. Все они выложены на этом сайте, сгруппированы по темам и дополнены письменными рассказами, фотографиями и полезными сслыками.
Я полюбила Кейптаун и обязательно поеду туда еще и вас приглашаю сделать то же самое. Я полагаю, что собранная мной информация может быть вам полезна и интересна.
Кейпаун поразил меня своей красотой, приятным климатом и кончено же обилием почти нетронутой природы в городе и вокруг. При всем этом дороги там лучше, чем в России, государственные структуры работоают практически так же, как у нас, а в культуре и традициях города можно найти много общего с нашими. Оказалось, не такие мы разные.

Kevin Butterly deserves a personal acknowledgement. Without him this project wouldn't be possible. He invite me to Cape Town and showed it to me.

Also I would like to express my appreciation to the Butterly family.
They welcomed me in their house, supported me and gave me a lot of usefull information.
A wonderfull person, who showed me the town from the ocean at day light and from the mountain in the evening down - Tracy from Kaskazi kayaks also merits a special thank.
