Clubbing in South Africa was probably the biggest culture shock on my last visit in 2013. I’d been out of the country for 14 years and have become used to the ways of England and Canada which caused some, likely regular scenarios to the local Cape Tonians, to jump out at me.

Smoking inside clubs is still a thing! My eyes were bloodshot by the time I started sipping on my second Hunters Dry. Then a girl caught my eye when she fell on the dance floor and I watched her flounder around covering each scenario in the comic. At every turn I wanted to step in and help, but my half sister told me it would just cause a fight. The buddy system wasn’t in her favour since her friend was just a few sips behind her, the bar tender kept serving her (!) and she wasn’t getting kicked out any time soon (which, granted, is probably a safety issue).

It was just crazy to see this extreme drunk culture that didn’t seem to shock my sister at all. Perhaps hitting my 30′s has made my “danger meter” highly sensitive, but it was ringing constantly for these girls.
