... It's a good thing you accepted that GPS from mom and dad instead of trying to be hipster and using a map. There's only one area in Cape Town you actually know and it turns out you don't even know your way around it as well as you think you do.
... Never underestimate the importance of friends, as well as the importance of your parents inviting you to dinner. Accept help and company whenever it is offered. It's okay not to do things on your own. You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
... Even though there are two switches for the geyser at the power-box, you will never figure out which one works and you will spend the majority of your mornings trying to figure it out.
... Exploring a new gym on your own is intimidating. You will walk down every passage until you find the ladies changing-room - even the passage to the mens changing-room. You won't find your way to the pool easily. You will look like a simpleton trying to open the gate to the pool. You will want to give up and walk away before you continue to make more of a fool of yourself.
... You should never incorporate so much lemon into your diet that it starts to break down the walls of your stomach and leaves you sitting with your head in the toilet all night.
... You should never try to take advantage of the R5 shooters and R19 jam-jars when you go out clubbing - a mere couple of nights after the toilet-hugging-episode
... It's more than likely that your first apartment won't be top-notch. Almost everything will leak and it will make you want to cry.
... And lastly, sometimes things are too good to be true. Always listen to your gut and never speed up the moving-process for a guy. BIG mistake. Although it won't turn out to be such a bad thing at the end of the day - especially if you've moved to a city as beautiful as Cape Town.
