If you’ve ever received a postcard from Cape Town, chances are it featured a collection of candy-colored rowhouses clustered around the slopes of a mountain. That neighborhood is Bo-Kaap, and that mountain is Signal Hill. The city’s Cape Malay Muslim community has called Bo-Kaap (“Upper Cape”) home for generations, and they’ve enlivened their houses by painting them every conceivable shade of pink, green, blue and purple. If you’re lucky, someone might offer you a homemade koesister, a coconut-dusted doughnut doused in syrup (you can also buy one at Rose Corner Café for 3 rand). To learn more about the community’s history pop into the Bo-Kaap Museum on Wale Street (20 rand).
如果你收到过来自开普敦的明信片，图案八成是聚集在山坡上的糖果色排屋。那一带是波卡普(Bo-Kaap)，那座山是信号山(Signal Hill)。开普敦的开普马来穆斯林社区世世代代生活在波卡普（意为“开普敦上城区”），他们给房子赋予了活力，把上面每一块能刷的地方都刷成了粉色、绿色、蓝色或紫色。如果你够幸运的话，有人或许会给你一份自制的koesister，这是一种糕点，外层覆满椰子粉，再浇上糖浆（在玫瑰角咖啡馆[Rose Corner Café]也可以买到，价格3兰特）。如果想更详细地了解这个社区的历史，可以去维尔街上的波卡普博物馆(Bo-Kaap Museum)（门票20兰特）。
