Contrast.

Since I have been in Cape Town there have been many differences noticed from things in the United States. They are random things I have picked up on and thought I would share.


- The drivers seat of a car is on the right, so the driving directions are opposite of the U.S.
- Aluminum cans are made with more metal, which makes them slightly heavier.
- Everything is made with natural sugars. There is no High Fructose Corn syrup in South Africa.
-The three main languages are British English, Afrikaans, and Xhosa.
