Castle of Good Hope
Today we went on a historical tour of the Castle ofGood Hope. We learned that it is the oldest colonial building in South Africa,built in 1666, and then declared a national monument in 1936. While there welearned that due to modernization of the South Africans culture, they havestopped a lot of traditional practices,such as the language they speak. Originallythe majority of people spoke Afrikaans, but now English has grown as theprimary language. This is the result of the British conquering in the 1800's and turning South Africa into a product of their own culture. Literally changing everything.
