Geburtstage » o in London is undoubtedly to go to the

Recently Brooks Robinson Orioles Jersey , I read an article about a young woman who was going for a run during the day time on a road that wasn't terribly busy when she was struck and killed by a motorist who simply wasn't paying attention. It struck a chord with me because as a self proclaimed runner, I have had my share of recent mishaps with drivers on the road "during the day" in which had I not been the more vigilant person, I may have wound up in the hospital with a serious injury.

Since living in North Carolina and attending a local university on a running scholarship, I have been able to witness not only the huge population growth that has taken place over the last few years, but also the increasing amount of people behind the wheel of cars who simply are not paying attention while they are driving. I remember going for a run once while I was in college. There was a group of us running on the street (or sidewalk rather) when the light turned green, indicating that we had the right of way to cross the street safely. Most of the cars had yielded to let us cross, but then a woman who had been sitting at the light and was waiting to make a turn had only been looking in one direction. She didn't realize that there was a 'no turn on red' sign in front of her; and to top it off Eddie Murray Youth Jersey , she was on her cell phone. She quickly stepped on the gas in an effort to escape traffic that was already stopped at a red light, and in doing so, she almost ran one of my teammates over. However, because my teammate had quick responses, she was able to jump up onto the woman's car hood while the rest of us ran into each other as we tried to stop ourselves before hitting her car.

The other drivers were annoyed to say the least because they had all been stopped and were watching it unfold. The lady in the car didn't get out despite the fact that she was being yelled at in all directions, but rather, put her head down in what I can only fathom was shame. I was just thankful that no one was hurt. Things only progressively got worse as the years went on. Before we would go for runs Jim Palmer Youth Jersey , the coaches would warn us to be careful. The funny thing was that we were always the more careful ones when it came to sharing the road with vehicles. We never ran in the street. We always ran on the sidewalk. However, because there were so many distracted drivers out there, we were always fighting a 5050 chance of not getting into an accident.

There has bee a long standing battle between drivers and not wanting to share the road with pedestrians. The biggest conflict comes with cyclists and drivers because cyclists, by law, are supposed to ride their bicycles in the roadway for the mere fact that they are often going too fast for those who are on the sidewalks walking their dog, running or just walking. Hopefully, one day Frank Robinson Youth Jersey , things will get resolved.There are approximately 6000 miles, and an 11 hour flight between Cape Town and London, but if you think that means that you will be straying completely outside of your comfort zone, then think again. South Africa, and in particular one of it's most famous cities, Cape Town, is a wonderfully diverse place to visit Roberto Alomar Youth Jersey , with stunning sights, captivating culture and much more. So whilst you will know that you're not in London anymore, there are some aspects of the city that will make you feel as if you are in a home away from home.

The Big Issue

Whether you live in the centre of London, or have escaped from the rat-race to live further afield, one thing you will come across in almost every British town is people selling the Big Issue. The Big Issue magazine was launched in 1991 to help the homeless to help themselves, and in the 19 years since its conception it has provided jobs for people living in poverty, as well as altering the public perception towards homelessness. This magazine has now travelled overseas and it is something that you will see on the streets of Cape Town Earl Weaver Youth Jersey , just as you would in London. So, whilst you're in that holiday spirit, why not pick up a copy - you'll feel good about helping someone for the rest of the day.

A Night at the Theatre

One of the most popular things to do in London is undoubtedly to go to the theatre. Whether it's the Royal Opera House, a play at the National Theatre, or even a West End musical, it is one of the most widely-enjoyed evening's entertainments available. However, this is also a popular pastime in South Africa Mark Trumbo Youth Jersey , and Cape Town boasts a number of impressive theatres. The Baxter Theatre, for example, located in the Southern suburbs of Rondebosch, puts on everything from comedy and children's plays, to ballet and Shakespeare. With both a concert hall and a theatre hosting entertainment every night, you'll be sure to find something to suit you. If you prefer a more cultural show, then you might want to head to the Artscape Theatre Joey Rickard Youth Jersey , the main performing arts centre in Cape Town, which includes an opera house, a theatre and a separate studio theatre.

Visit a Museum

Another of London's biggest selling points is its wealth of museums. From the British Museum, to the Natural History Museum, to Madame Tussaud's Celebrity Waxwork Museum there is something of interest to everyone. However, this is also something you will find in Cape Town. Whatever your cultural interests you will find a museum to suit you, be it the Holocaust Centre Chris Davis Youth Jersey , the Gold of Africa Museum, the MTN Science Centre, or even the Muizenberg Toy Museum. There may not be quite as many museums as you will find in London, but those that they do have are just as intriguing.
