Tablecloth

Welcome to Cape Town. Many thanks to Hisham for choosing this as a souvenir! The pic on the magnets shows the Table Mountain forms a dramatic backdrop to the city bowl, with its plateau over 1,000 m (3,300 feet) high; it is surrounded by near-vertical cliffs, Devil's Peak and Lion's Head. Sometimes a thin strip of cloud forms over the mountain, and owing to its appearance, it is colloquially known as the "Tablecloth". My friend Yusof went there several (or many??) years ago and he was one of the lucky ones who actually witnessed the tablecloth formation.

Often regarded as one of the world's most beautiful cities because of its geography, Cape Town is one of the most popular South African tourism destinations. Cape Town is the 3rd most populous city in South Africa, forming part of the metropolitan municipality of the City of Cape Town. The centre of Cape Town is located at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula.

African Zebra

#36

One from the first batch of magnets that I have. Honestly, this wasn't a magnet before. Obvious from it's condition, it was given to me as a souvenir - and in the form of a key chain. I was so obsessed with fridge magnets (I still am) that I converted the key chain and taa-daaa I have another fridge magnet.

This one was given to me by Thuraya; from her trip to South Africa during my chambering days. That means it is from way back in 1997. Ten years old! It's leather, and it still looks very good.

Where now: Office. Hey, is this the first magnet from the office? Oh wow. There you go. Now you know whay I have this "where now" thingy. Just to show that some of them magnets are at the office; some hidden underneath all sorts of messages, drawings, cards and letters that Natasha made.

By the way, just ask her, and she'd tell you that one of mommy's favourite animal is a zebra.
