A ride on Rikki's in Cape Town
I think this was the day I went to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. I woke up early and hopped on to a rikki's, whose driver is one of the craziest drivers I've ever met. Sorry about the shaky camera but as you can obviously see, it's really easy to get tossed around in one of these. The girl you see here was on her way to an audition (probably in Rosebank or Rondebosch). As you will obviously see, she is really friendly but a bit nervous because of the audition. However I remember this most because of what we discussed off camera (at the time I only had like a 256 MB or 128 MB CompactFlash memory card so I only did brief clips. When she asked me what I was doing in Cape Town, among other things I told her I was planning a township tour in Khayelitsha. As soon as I said this she was surprised simply asking me why I would want to go there and that that's not a place people normally go to. She's never been to it and didn't seem to care what was going on not only in her country but in her very own city too (Khayelitsha by the was is considered a part of the Cape Town Unicity). You will notice upon entering Cape Town that race continues to be a significant issue.
