A few people have expressed unhappiness at my apparent endorsment of drink driving is the latest newsletter I sent out. So for the record, the article was written tounge in cheek, we all know we should never drink and drive. It’s very bad. There are a couple of other comments I’d like to make. A lot of people think of drink driving as driving when…
January newsletter sent out
I’ve sent out the January newsletter. A little late, I know. It’s available under ‘Newsletters’ on the navigation pane.
Besobar review
Po Na Na has become a tapas bar called Besobar (in Spanish ‘beso’ means ‘kiss’ and ‘bar’ means ‘bar’). If you’ve been to Po Na Na before you will know what to expect decor wise because nothing has really changed. Although, I’m sure you’ll agree, Po Na Na would be quite suitable for a tapas bar. They have put some glass food diplays on the…
Riboville review
Those who know me will know that I’m easily pleased, but hard to impress. Riboville impressed me. It’s located in an old building at the top of Adderly St (just before you hit Wale St) which used to be a bank. They have refurbished the place but tried to keep as much of the original elements as possible, eg. the the floors and the marble…
Saul’s Sushi & Saul’s Taverna review
Today is your lucky day, a double review. Most locals will know of Saul’s Saloon in Seapoint Main Road. It’s the kind of place you go to at about 4am after way to many drinks. Anybody who has been there in daylight and sober, won’t make that mistake again. It’s more about quantity than quality. A burger and chips is enough for 2 people, which…
Hot food
Have you ever had a chilli rush? It happens when you eat something so hot that you become flushed, you break into a sweat and you start hyperventilating which makes you feel light-headed. It’s a great feeling, I’m sure there are some endorphins involved somehow as well. The thing about chilli, which a lot of people (who generally don’t enjoy hot food) don’t realise is…
Ecuador
I see Ecuador has a new president who is sympathetic to Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, et al.. In other words, anti-USA, anti-IMF and World Bank. I’m very excited. My only concern is the inclusion of Iran in their little gang. If you’re interested in finding out why I find this exciting, read this article: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=06/06/06/1337219
Wishes
I wish all Relax with Dax readers the best for 2007. My resolution for this year is to be a more responsible inhabitant of this planet. Consumerism is leading to a lot of waste and use of fossil fuels. We need to become more aware of what we consume and how we dispose of our waste. It’s not necessary for every item we buy to…
Just Jinjer concert at Dunes
I went to the Just Jinjer concert at Dunes yesterday. Like all the previous years, it was a fantastic experience. You can’t really go wrong, holding an open air concert in Hout Bay. Dunes is a good venue because there is a lot of open space outside and there are multiple levels so there are many vantage points. The only complaint I have about the…
Wishes
Wishing all Relax with Dax readers the most awesome festive season and new year. I’m feeling ambivalent about 2007. I love new beginnings and all that, but if I look at my desk I can tell that 2007 is going to basically be part 2 of 2006. On the other hand, there are some things planned for 2007 which will be quite exciting. So there…
