(Knocking sounds)
Oh, hello there.
It is time for another edition of check out where we stay.
Haha.
So no MTV cribs this time?
No MTV cribs.
They didn't pick up the show.
Haha.
Anyways, we are in Cape Town and we ended up renting an AirBNB here for the week so
we figured we would show you around so you can see what you can expect to find and pay.
I think we were paying about $40 dollars a night.
Forty US dollars if I remember correctly.
Yeah, that is right.
And it is a studio so what you see is what you get.
Um, so I guess we'll show you the bedroom first.
Tada.
We got a pretty nice bed.
Ah, you can see the mirror.
Aaah.
The mirror looks it make a lot more spacious than it actually is.
Lots of pillows, the bed was comfy so plus for that.
Yeah.
So something we should mention about this place is that normally we do our apartment
tours like just when we're checking in.
Once we've checked in.
But look at this.
We're just about to leave.
Like we are literally.
After we film this.
Yeah.
We are out of here.
We're off to the airport.
Well, I had to tidy up to film this.
I know.
Saved it for the last day.
Everything is packed.
Yes.
Um, yeah.
So we also have a TV area.
We didn't turn the TV on at all.
Not even once.
Oh, there is something I want to show you guys.
Check out these they have the strangest plugs.
Oh yeah, they have really strange plugs in South Africa.
They're like similar to the European and UK ones except they're like 3 times as big.
We had to buy huge adapters.
Yeah.
But anyway.
Anyways, living area.
I do like this couch quite a bit.
The other day there was a mosquito buzzing around my head so I came and slept here because
I couldn't kill it.
I couldn't find it.
Yep.
So this makes a comfy bed if there is 3 of you.
Um, some lovely plants, books and then you're already in the kitchen.
Yeah.
And so this would normally be used as a table to eat.
A dining table.
A dining table but we were working on here.
This is our office.
And as you can see it has barstools.
It has got two barstools.
Yep.
The kitchen was pretty nice.
Yes.
Sam did the dishes for us.
Ah, look at that.
That was pretty much my only contribution to cleaning up this place.
But yeah.
You know what?
We didn't actually cook a lot because going out to a restaurant is quite affordable here
in Cape Town.
So our fridge, this all we're leaving behind, haha.
Yoghurt.
Yoghurt and water.
One thing I will yeah these are the chilled waters that we're going to take with us.
One thing I will say though is that I had quite a bit of wine while I was here.
We just threw those out but I think 3 or 4 bottles.
A lot of wine.
Mostly from Spier so we visited that vineyard in Stellenbosch.
I was like argh gotta buy some more Spier.
Mmmhmm.
And yeah, that is it for the kitchen.
I mean we've got a stove, we have a microwave.
Lots of cupboard space.
I mean we had a kettle, a toaster, a coffee maker.
Something cool you'll find in here.
Actually, I've been washing all of them is that you'll find lots of wine glasses.
Oh yes.
Because drinking wine.
South Africans like their wine.
They sure do.
Oh yeah.
Oh but what about the views.
The views.
Alright, prepare to be blinded.
Are you ready for this?
Woah.
And the camera is taking a while to adjust.
There.
It has already adjusted.
So the views from here are I would say average.
Yeah.
They are not amazing but what was so cool is that like if you see my finger here that
is where the sun would rise every single morning and we have footage of that which we're going
to overlay right here.
And that was awesome.
We had amazing sunrises basically every day.
You know what?
If we had stayed on the other side.
On the opposite side of the apartment building you can actually see part of Table Mountain.
Yeah.
And that is pretty spectacular when the light hits.
Oh, I showed that.
Sam went on the roof.
I snuck out there.
He's like oh my gosh.
I don't think I was supposed to but I went and did it and anyways we'll cut right here
and show you that footage.
And I have to say one of the most awesome things about staying here is simply the views
we get on the rooftop of this 9th floor.
Check this out guys.
This is stunning.
I'm just doing this all in one cut.
No zooming in, no zooming out.
This is just the views we get from this apartment.
Absolutely incredible.
And we're back.
And the last thing we're going to show you is the bathroom.
That is like the separate room.
It has a walk-in closet slash bathroom kind of yeah.
Open up some of those.
This is really cool because there is a rack for laundry because this kind of reminds me
a bit of an apartment in Korea or like Hong Kong or Japan because it is very space efficient.
Yeah.
Like these ceilings are massive and then you have all this storage space.
So technically I think in here there is basically almost nothing.
More blankets.
Just some extra blankets but we could have hung up all of our clothes in there.
We were just too lazy to do it.
Haha.
And yeah that is the bathroom.
Come on in.
We have double showers.
Oh the shower was nice.
Let me show you that.
This was the best one.
Right here.
Waterfall shower.
The waterfall shower.
But you know what?
There is a drought in South Africa at the moment so we're having really short showers.
Yeah, that is right.
They are really down um and that is not just in Cape Town.
That is also in Stellenbosch.
This is kind of just in the general area.
Now this is cool.
Now this is going to be fun guys.
This is cool.
These are like sayings that you can pick up.
English, Zulu, Afrikaans.
Okay let's go over some of them.
So we know Howzit.
Howzit?
So how would you use that?
Howzit?
Howzit.
Howzit is like hello.
Not how are you.
How is it going?
Howzit.
And the other one I hear a lot is Yebo.
Ah, yebo.
That is Zulu.
Yes.
Yebo.
You can see that right here.
It is spelled just like that.
So I wish I could take this home with me.
Just stuff it in the suitcase but I mean it doesn't belong to me so we're going to leave
it here.
Were there any other words?
Or were those the two ones.
Those are the ones I keep hearing a lot.
So if you're from.
Oh, takkies I think I heard that before.
Sneakers.
Your takkies.
Anyways, if you're from South Africa and you use some of these words please let us know
how they are pronounced and if they are common or not.
Haha.
Alright, so it is almost time to go meet our taxi driver.
So let me show you out.
Off you go.
I hope you enjoyed the tour.
This is kind of what we do.
When we're done our videos we just send you out the door.
That is it.
Nice seeing you.
And see you next time.
Bye bye.
