What type of World Cup survivor are you?

World Cup 2010 nostalgia? No way. Cape Town's got (more than) balls.

Cape Town's been on the ball for the last few FIFA weeks but now it's all finished and done. In its wake, we tearfully lay ourselves down to die and - wait, that's wrong. Looking beyond the ball, it's plain to see that life's not over, even if it feels like it. Cape Town is more alive than it's been in ages, despite the cold and rain, and there's so much to do. So what if the Cup has waved Adios already? You can still score, no matter how bad your withdrawal symptoms are.  

Why withdrawal? Need we ask? The World Cup turned most of us into fans, and in some cases, fanatics, and in the worst case, dithering schizophrenics with beer bladders. But bloody ‘ell, those balls are seductive. Returning to reality, to your normal personality, may require help. Follow our guide and you'll find that filling your abundant spare time is easier than logging on to Facebook.

You could: party. Run up a mountain. Paraglide. Abseil. And did we say party?

You are: a leader, a doer, sometimes overbearing, sometimes arrogant

You could: Take a quad bike safari, help build a house in a township, get a massage (yes, you need TLC, too).

"It's gone. It's over. I can't believe it. I feel so empty. My family's bereft. Empty weekends. What are we going to do? I think I'll write a poem."

You are: a thinker, a creative, sometimes overly analytical, sometimes overly melancholic

'Yeah, the World Cup, hey? Shame, no, I'm fine; I see you're not, though. Let's have tea? I was a fan too, but it's more peaceful now. Or maybe we'll have coffee? No, I don't have any soccer themed zoo biscuits."

You are: an adaptor, a peace lover, sometimes indifferent, sometimes indecisive.

You could: join a local soccer club, join a gym or visit an African art gallery.

Looking up and seeing shapes in the sky. Not cloud watching, but kite spotting. The Cape Town International Kite Festival is a celebration of shapes and colours and... wind! 

A little history and a little carnival. The Goema and Glitter exhibition showcases one of the city's longest standing celebrations of culture. 

A day on the beach. The sun doesn't have to shine, there's kite surfing, surfing, horse riding and more. choose between Clifton, Camps Bay, Llandudno, Bloubergstrand and others.

Actually, you're probably a combination of a few of these types. So take your pick of therapeutic post World Cup activities. It's called self medication. And it's not habit forming. Yet.

And if you're addicted? Move to England. The weather’s worse in winter, sure, but they've got balls too.
