So the other day I was watching the Today Show and they had mentioned their annual segment called Where in the world is Matt Lauer? If you have not heard of this, the lead anchorman of the Today Show, Matt Lauer, travels each year to five locations around the world and exposes viewers to the culture of the city/country he travels to. I wondered if he had gone to Cape Town and when I went on the Today website he had in fact gone in 2007. They had several very interesting video clips. The link to the website of all the Cape Town videos from the Today Show is:

Lauer did a good job of covering many aspects of the beautiful city of Cape Town. One of the residents summed it up by saying it could be 2 AM and you could go hiking up Table Mountain or go down to the beach and surf or walk in the city. It is truly a unique city.
Here are two videos that were my favorites which you would find useful. The first video highlights the city of Cape Town in terms of how it is moving on from its rough past of racism to a bright future with events like the upcoming World Cup. In the second video, Matt discusses with the other NBC correspondents about language would be really useful when in the city.

Purpose
Hey! It's great that I have finally got to start this blog as soon as summer vacation began. I created this blog in order to highlight my preparation for my IQP trip to Cape Town, South Africa this B Term. I hope that people related to this trip and in future trips of Cape Town can look to this blog as a resource to see my experience of the IQP process and how they can relate. This blog will also serve as my summer journal that our group has been asked to write throughout the summer. I hope to write on this blog from now until the end of B-Term. I hope you enjoy the content!
