27 Dinner Cape Town #39 – My first.

27 Dinner Cape Town #39 – My first.

Posted 28 August 2009 | By aslam | Categories: Cape Town, emarketing | 1 Comment

Last night I attended my first 27 Dinner. It was Awesome (Considered using the word “Rad”, must be Alex’s Steri Stumpie Presentation). So I rocked up at the Bombay Bicycle Club, wrote my name on a sticker, which found a temporary home on my chest, and proceeded to “mingle” The layout of the Venue didn’t [...]

USB 3.0 Vs Blu-ray

USB 3.0 Vs Blu-ray

Posted 26 August 2009 | By aslam | Categories: Gadgets | No Comments

Blu-ray has been available for about three years now. Despite being the replacement to DVD I’ve not seen a big shift toward this technology, which I expected with Stores such as Hi-Fi Corporation and Game offering more “affordable” Full-HD Ready TV’s The format battle with HD-DVD seems to have stunted the growth of Blu-ray as [...]

Nokia Laptop, would you buy one?

Posted 24 August 2009 | By aslam | Categories: Gadgets | No Comments

From engadget Nokia rocked the world this morning by introducing its spin on the laptop, called the Booklet 3G. If you’re the rude sort  you could call it a fancy netbook, what with its Atom processor and 10.1-inch display, but that screen is higher res than your average Eee, and it also sports integrated 3G [...]

District 6 – a forgotten people?

Posted 24 August 2009 | By aslam | Categories: Cape Town, South Africa | 2 Comments

District 6, the word reverberates to my core, for reasons I’m unsure myself. Its significance perhaps already lost to my generation. I have no memories of District 6 other than the glimmer in the eyes of those who tell tales of its glory. Stories of Fish Market, the seven steps and the gangsters who never [...]

Sex Tourism in Cape Town, yay or nay?

Sex Tourism in Cape Town, yay or nay?

Posted 19 August 2009 | By aslam | Categories: 2010 World Cup, Cape Town, Cape town Tourism | 4 Comments

The Fifa Soccer world Cup will be here in under 300 Days. The influx of  the “sport tourist“ stereotype means that we can also expect a boom in sex tourism. I do carry the same sentiment as Cape Town Tourism that we should not neither promote nor bar this industry.We all know sex sells, but [...]

With the recent traffic problems caused with the Metrorail Strike and some really heavy winter rains I read an awesome post on 2oceansvibe about a webcam site and thought it a great addition to this site as it promotes Cape Town. These are really informative as the update often. All the cams below are powered [...]

I really cant wait to see this movie, although I have already told myself that it probably wont be the best movie I’ve ever seen. It will however be the best South African movie I’ve seen in a long time. Costing $30 Million to make the movie has already made a profit in it’s opening [...]

It’s a surprisingly quiet in the office (Cape Town Tourism Head Office) today. With 300 days to kick off I really expected there to be some sort of excitement. I have to agree with Shelton, our 2010 marketing officer that we can’t throw a huge activation at every milestone. Especially seeing as how we recently [...]

Greenpoint stadium will defintly be the hub of soccer activity during the Fifa soccer worldcup in 2010. I’m glad that the LOC (Local organising Commitee) has led the charge in ensuring that the event is affordable for everyone who would like to be part of this once in a lifetime event. I agree that the [...]
