Natural and Organic Expo review
This last weekend I went to check out the Natural and Organic Expo. Overall I think it was a good expo. There were a lot of stands, it was well attended and there was lots of entertainment, from presentations to live bands to fashion shows. It has grown immensely since it started and will definitely…

The Lion King review
I can’t understand anyone not enjoying big stage productions. I am not particularly a fan of theatre, but I love big stage productions. I loved Phantom of the Opera and I loved Lord of the Dance and I loved Mamma Mia and I loved the Lion King the other night. I can’t believe that anyone can…

OR Thambo
Domestic air travel is not my favourite way to pass time. One of the things that makes it a headache is dealing with the airports. Queues, inefficient staff, delayed flights, etc, etc, etc. Unfortunately I find myself flying fairly regulary, either for business or personal reasons. Today I am flying back to Cape Town from…

Pinotage on Tap review
This was my first year at Diemersfontein Pinotage on Tap. Several of my friends have been going for a number of years but I’d never gotten round to it. So I enlisted the company of my right hand man and my left hand man, and we made a weekend of it. I quick call to a friend…

¿¡Salud!? review

What’s it worth? review

They estimate that $100m is spent every year in Brazil by aid organisations. If this money went directly to homeless children, it would be enough to buy them each a…

Miller’s Thumb review
The Miller’s Thumb has been one of my favourite restaurants for a long time. So long in fact that my initial review of it was written before even the old website was launched. This means you won’t find that review on here or on the old site, but rather in one of the early newsletters.…

Revolucion review
The Tri-Continental Film Festival is showing at the Ster Kinekor Nouveau in the Waterfront. I went last night to watch the first of 3 documentaries that have caught my eye in the selection on offer. There are so many that are worth seeing, but it’s not possible to see them all. The one I watched last…

Barnyard Brasserie review
It seems that every second restaurant that opens these days, offers a ‘tapas style’ menu. I think it’s a great way of eating because I like tasting lots of different dishes (also probably because I am half spanish). The problem is that it’s not quite the drawcard that it was initially. When a place said…
