The Fugard: The Rocky Horror Show

December 20, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 11 Comments

When we were younger, my mother and grandmother absolutely loved The Rocky Horror Picture Show. They would watch it over and over again on the VCR. Even though I was born more than 10 years after the release, I probably knew every song- I now realise how inappropriate that was. The original Rocky Horror Picture … [Read more…]

Club Eden, Gangnam, Seoul

December 17, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

Being a massive Depeche Mode fan, my friend had to see DJ Fletch (aka Andy Fletch, co-founder of Depeche Mode). He was doing a world tour and one of his stops was at Club Eden at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the Gangnam District. Club Eden is without a doubt one of the poshest clubs I’ve … [Read more…]

O-frikkin-rania

December 13, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

I’ve been surprised by the amount of South Africans who have not heard of Orania. A quick look at Wikipedia will give you the town history – basically, in 1990 (about the time apartheid laws were being repealed and Madiba was released from prison), about 40 Afrikaner families bought a private piece of land. The … [Read more…]

Cape Town CBD- Haiku Asian Tapas

December 4, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 2 Comments

I must admit, the husband and I do not have the most adventurous of palates. We tend to stick to Indian cuisines when dining out (I know, terribly boring). For his birthday we decided to try something a little different. Finding Halaal- friendly and more upmarket restaurants can be difficult. On top of that, I … [Read more…]

Busan & the Love Motels (South Korea)

November 29, 2013 by Rif 1 Comment

Busan is the second largest city in South Korea (the first being Seoul). Busan is what Cape Town is to Joburg – its coastal, scenic and chilled sister. Getting from Seoul to Busan cost me a few of my ZARs using the KTX (the train system). It was about a 3 hour uneventful train ride … [Read more…]

Cape Winelands: Santé Hotel Resort and Spa

November 26, 2013 by SuitcasesandLattes 3 Comments

I’m a daily deals addict. There, I said it. Instead of my inbox being filled with forwarded emails from friends & family, I’m greeted by about 7-10 daily deal emails every morning. I know, it is kind of sad, but if it wasn’t for my addiction, I would not have stumbled on a gem like … [Read more…]

Gyeonbokgung Palace, Seoul – South Korea

November 22, 2013 by Rif Leave a Comment

Gyeonbokgung Palace is the largest of the five palaces built by the Josean Dynasty – and it seems to be slap, bang in the middle of Seoul (I could be wrong as I was quite disorientated). I went to the palace on one of my last days in Seoul (in an effort to see some … [Read more…]
