You may have noticed that the look of the blog has changed somewhat. It’s now nearing the end of the holidays, and as I sit here on Easter Monday, watching the students return for the second term starting tomorrow, I couldn’t help but share how much I love this place.
This place is the best. All there are is bars (and churches) and for 8 months of the year it is filled with some of the best looking people in the world. I think there must be some sort of screening process, because I have never seen a truly ugly person in this town. Even the ugly people are good looking. Think about it.

There are other things about Stellenbosch that I will always love. The quiet calm of a Saturday afternoon, the way the sun sets in Autumn, hanging out on the Bohemia stoep on a sunny day. The madness of Mystics, missions to Hangbrug, and walking up Victoria Street, any time of the year. Falling in love, walking in Church street on a hot summer’s evening, and listening to the rain from under your duvet on a winter’s morning, just as you decide that that 8am class just isn’t worth it.
Most of all, it’s the vibe. There are only some that will inderstand what I’m talking about, but they know. It’s the vibe. There’s no getting away from it. This place is awesome.
