1. What are the stereotypes about UWC? For example, is it a party school, is it known as nerdy, etc?

2. I LOVE punk shows. For reference, for some reason I live right next to University of Cape Town. Are there Instagram accounts for bands in the area or certain bars/places know to host punk shows?

3. Question number two but with drag shows

4. On paper Cape Town is pretty progressive but my state is supposed to be progressive yet I keep getting called a f*g and getting misgendered and all that jazz. Like I’ve been presenting as straight because of ICE being in my area and the harassment but if Cape Town is progressive I’d like to be more expressive with who I am as a member of the queer community yk be a twunk with dyed hair.

5. I’m next to a national forest which is super cool and I love nature but I’m not really familiar with the wildlife in SA. How dangerous are the animals in the area?

6. Im Jewish. Is there a strong Jewish community in Cape Town? I know there’s a Synagogue right up the street from me but idk how many people actually go. Also is antisemitism common? I wear a head covering daily and get hate in the US but not hate-crimed. I know Jews are currently pretty controversial. Also, any kosher delis or restaurants around? I’m kosher

7. More of a touristy question, but what are some must have food and places to go?

P.S. Thank you to everyone who ends up responding ❤️

I mean you could just comment your favorite aesthetic, but it’d be cool to hear the less talked about ones. For example, it’s not my favorite, but I did a research project on health goth which I’d consider niche because no one that I know has heard of it. I don’t have a favorite (I know, I’m a hypocrite), but some of the lesser known aesthetics that I enjoy are whimsy twee, two tone, and taqwacore.
