Now=when??

In Cape Town you should not take a ‘now’ for a ‘now’...
If a South-African tells you “I’ll see you now” that actually means that he’ll see you within the next minute or so.. However if he says “I’ll see you now now” that probably mean in 30 minutes or even hours… AND to make it more complicated if someone says “I’ll see you just now” that might be in a couple of hours, in the afternoon, or even the next day…

Oh, and have I told that the car I’m driving has one key to each door.. I’m not sure whether that says something about the quality of the car or the criminality rate in Cape Town…
