Documentary Screening: Uncounted
While You Were Sleeping has organised another documentary screening at the Labia. Uncounted is about election fraud in the 2004 and 2006 in the United States.

Nag’s Head review

Pepenero review
You might be surprised that I hadn’t eaten at Pepenero until now. I had popped in for a drink to check the place out but was put off eating there by the many reports of bad service and average food at high prices. Now they are running some specials, and being a sucker for a…

Cafe Sofia breakfast
I’ve found the new no. 1 spot for breakfast. Cafe Sofia is running a breakfast special which is a super deal. At R20 for an english breakfast and coffee, it makes Beleza look expensive. The alternative is the 3 egg omlette with feta, chorizo and peppers for R25 including coffee. We went to the Cafe…

The internet has changed and developed over time. One of the ways it has changed is that is has become much more interactive. Instead of just using the internet to get the information we want, we can make a contribution ourselves.
