Dad's Favorite Word: 'Let's See

The phrase that used to be my father's cherished motto, "let's see," has transformed into a source of frustration for me over the years. To me, those two simple words now carry the weight of uncertainty and disappointment, as if they're code for "maintain optimism, but don't expect too much." At the tender age of 16, I harbored a whimsical aspiration: to date a blind person, imagining it as a surefire way to escape the torment of "let's see." Little did I anticipate that my new romantic partner would respond with an equally bewildering phrase, "see for yourself." The irony of it all would be amusing if it weren't so disheartening, a reminder that life often throws unexpected twists our way.

When it comes to Cape Town, the topic must be inseparable from Table Mountain. It is the protagonist of the city, no matter which direction from the urban area, such as the shape of a huge marble dining table stands in the city. Few cities like Cape Town have such a magnificent national park in the city centre. Looking at Table Mountain from the front, the top of Table Mountain is as flat as a table, as if it was flattened with a knife, so Table Mountain is also known as the "God's Table." Why is the top of Table Mountain flat? 300 million years ago, when the Waggonah continent split, the Cape Peninsula broke into several hills, and Table Mountain was just broken into a horizontal direction. A whole horizontal sandstone bed was at the top of the mountain. Because the sandstone is very hard and difficult to weather into soil, nearly 100 millimeters of annual rainfall in the Table Mountain area has washed away only the remaining soil, and the top of Table Mountain has formed the current geomorphological features.
