i. Did you know there’s an observatory in Cape Town that you can visit for like $2? Personally, I vaguely knew, but didn’t understand that it was like an actual observatory. My reference point for actual observatory is 80% from Myst and 20% from the Blue Prince. For some reason they’re just strewn across video games like Lime Bikes in Brussels. But that’s beside the point. The point is that I recommend everyone go, even though I left really mad and confused. To get in you have to attend a 1-hour lecture. This is no problem for me since I graduated university, where attending 1-hour lectures to get to do something is a skill I mastered by the 2nd semester. In fact, this was a lot better than university because you actually get to do something fun afterwards. I do find it strange that they make this a requirement. Despite being an event for normies, you basically had to have a PhD in astrophysics to understand any of it. After the lecture though, much like university, you get to go outside and look through dozens of telescopes. There was a weird vibe the night I went. Apparently Saturn had something astrological happening and so tons of Libras flocked to see it. You could tell the astronomers wanted to help people see Saturn but you could also tell that the astronomers knew most people here didn’t know the difference between astrology and astronomy. The line for seeing Saturn was genuinely very long. Luckily I just wanted to see anything cool so my options were wide open. Then I walked past a dome shaped building with a mysterious blue light inside, pointed at the sky. I stood there, just looking. I knew that they had an observatory here, but I thought that meant they had a computer with Google Chrome connected to https://nasa.gov or maybe some cute little telescopes. I didn’t realize it was an Observatory observatory. Smash cut to: 4 hours later. I am back from a tour of the library and finally go inside. I’ve never been to Disneyland but when I watch Jen
