Things that [still] shock me about Durban:

A bus won’t stop at a bus stop unless you flag it down.
Nothing is open after 6pm.
The sun sets at 4:45pm.
No one walks anywhere.
The ground meat tastes weird.
Can’t get any good coffee anywhere. Instead, I’ve been forced to drink much more tea than I am used to (used to drink: no tea).
Rusks are delicious. (Look them up.)
Now that the World Cup is over, street vendors sell the most random things: inflatable neon cats, hangers, mints that you receive with the bill (check) at any restaurant in South Africa...
There is a Cinnabon across the street from where I live.
There is a KFC on every street corner. No joke.
Everyone wears sweaters in 80 degree weather.
