Athlone Tower Precinct - the New Cape Town CBD part1
The Athlone Towers (Langa towers?) are being demolished on 22 August at midday. Ahead of this event, we tried to get as close to the site as possible to get a sense of what the future might hold on this central and significant piece of land. Could this be the new Cape Town CBD in the next 20 years?
The Cape Town Reggae Route - from Kingston to Cape Town

The Cape Town Secret Garden Route - an eco-cultural journey
Welcome to the Cape Town Private Garden Route, a journey through some of Cape Town's most extraordinary private gardens, and tea with the characters that created them.
It's a different way to access the city, through the lense of private gardens and gardening individuals. We take in gardens from cruiseship to township, from Higgovale to Hout Bay, and Constantia to Khayelitsha.
In this video we meet two of the tour's anchor hosts, Donovan and Alan.

A taste of some of the young talent in Cape Town
Tony Elvin, the Langa Quarter
Tony Elvin believes that Langa, Cape Town’s oldest township, is one of the city’s most important economic and cultural nodes. Located right in the middle of the metropole, Tony’s vision is that Langa is not a peripheral area, but a major centre piece. His Langa Quarter initiative draws on Langa’s location and cultural heritage to create a thriving precinct built on enterprise development principles.

Cape Town Roadtrip
Happy birthday, Shirley!
Hope you like this surprise, and that the rest of you do too...
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. ~ C.S Lewis
I planned to make this video ever since our trip (well, I wouldn't take videos for nothing right?) & thought I could do it months later just to have something to reminisce about... but I know our friendship doesn't just stay as memories. Thank you guys for the Skype sessions and FB chats we still have that keeps our friendship going, and also anticipating for our next reunion sometime in the future (;
Thank you for this wonderful trip, Shirley, Ani, Shelley, Katharina, Raphy, Silvan & Ste. Enjoy (:
With love,
chlo
You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.

P.S. You guys are in my heart and prayers...
