Davide’s Testimonial

“As time went by I discovered the city and its surroundings, little by little, from the crazy parties in Long street (dancing here is a faith, everyone know how to!) to the fresh air at the top of the Table Mountain. Personally I think this city owns a particular vibe as its inhabitants are very friendly, helpful and talkative, I happened to me to have interesting discussions on the streets lot of times with people wanting to share their minds.” – Davide (Switzerland)

IH Cape Town – Mad Hatters Braai

IH Cape Town Party

On Thursday we celebrated our monthly student’s activity with a bang – the Mad Hatters Braai. All seasoned Cape Town students know by now that a “braai” is the South African version of a barbeque which forms an integral part of the South African culture. And so student came dressed to kill in weird and wonderful hats of all shapes and seizes. After enjoying a drink on the IH Deck we all made our way down to the feast. As the evening went on we played who’s who games bringing students and staff together. We were even surprised by our student’s talents as an out-of-the-blue talent show erupted into full swing. There was break dancing, singing, rapping and story telling. All in all another unforgettable IH Cape Town evening – looking forward to the next happening on the 13th of May.
