A Nature Trip - SA

Mom is asking me to go travel with her on next coming Chinese New Year. She wanted to visit Japan but from what I know the weather there by then is only around 3 degree. My mom had a very bad experience at Korea during the winter time because she couldn't even walk on the street. Therefore we changed our plan and I think South Africa will be our alternative choice.

So far I have did some research about the Hotels in Cape Town. The rate is consider reasonable especially Cape Town is the capital for South Africa. Comparing with the Hotels in Johannesburg or Hotels in Sandton cost higher than the capital. Perhaps is due to the tourist spots and thus the rate is higher.

However, if we really travel there then I may opt for driving. There are many similarity between the road regulation in South Africa and Malaysia. Like no alcohol, compulsory uses of hands free and safety belt etc. But one thing surely different, not only from us but to other countries also. Which is, we gotta watch out for animals in rural areas. Because the driver might ran over the animals like dogs, chickens, sheep and even large antelope, horses or cows on the road. Interesting.
