We spend the night at a Holiday Inn which is heaven after weeks of tenting in the swamp. The waiter in the restaurant gets down on one knee to take our order which is nice because it puts him at eye level.
Johannesburg, South Africa amy_goes First time to visit and was shocked to realize I was still on the continent. Struck by all of the new cars and bars on the windows.
Had some free time for once and visited Mandela Museum. Strange to comprehend the situation.
Taxi drivers were asking me if Michael Jackson was white--explained he used to be just like Chantelle Biya :).
This time I was prepared for winter with my coat. Kept my colleague awake on the plane coughing my lungs out. I smell like an advertisement for hand sanitizer trying not to spread the flu. Have tried a variety of medicines from the pharmacy and noticed that the condoms have entertaining names.
My colleague ending up catching the flu from me and claims I was the carrier of H1N1 to South Africa.

... talkies” – which I believe are feet and heads of chickens. Joburg beer is this weird home-brewed milky concoction that has about 2% alcohol – it tastes like a mixture of lemonade that has gone bad and milk – disgusting!
Suddenly, it was my last day. I couldn’t believe it! Gabbi planned out my whole day for me – we started by going to Lesede Village, which is an area an area built up to show and teach you about the ...
... They are a very resilient and joyful people. We got a lot of smiles and waves.
For lunch we ate at a house turned restaurant in a district of Soweto. It turned out to be where Aleena lived. While we were enjoying our African cuisine the neighbor kids showed up and gave us a little dance show. One of the teenage boys really won over the girls when he dislocated his shoulder about eight times in a row.
Aleena our hilarious guide made sure we were up to date with the ...
... the same story. At this stage the two lads were bricking it. They said that the locals came up and began circling the car and staring in. After waiting for about two hours the AA finally came to tow them away. The police never came. The AA truck dropped them off at the hostel and they didn't even wait for the gate to be opened. Instead they climbed over it, while everyone in the bar laughed at them on the CCTV. Just another crazy story in Jo'burg.
The following day myself ...
... cattle etc on the road but we had no choice. The National Park had no accommodation left but directed us to the next lodge - where I had nearly had an anxiety attack - we turned off to the lodge in a very sandy road that just got worse and worse. We landed in the situation where you could not reverse, could not go forward and could not turn around. We spotted a place to make a u turn, but at some stage the wheels were just spinning in the sand and ...
Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa elmab... to hold it together for her reading and Nik and Tand's both scrubbed up well - Tandor's dress was beautiful and Nik and Andy were both wearing full on suits - they looked really smart, but they must've been roasting!!! After the ceremony we all chucked petals at the happy couple before a photo session and champagne in the garden. The party then relocated to the reception hall where we had some more drinks, dinner and speeches and then everyone ...
Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa cat2222... be pointless as my boss was not listening to me anyway, he would be to busy trying to think of a way to get on my case and make up stuff that supposedly I had not done. Why does everything in the corporate world have to be decided by meetings? I think it is something to do with going back to the prime evil man monkey days, the need to show dominance over a group. A contest of power and status if you will: basically a it is a just one ******** swinging contest ...
Hoedspruit, South Africa olibray... take the City Slicker bus from there. Answers to our inquiries about getting a bus into the center were met with incredulous looks and discouraging remarks. "You want to go where?" "Why would you want to go downtown?" Melville is essentially a white suburb and white South Africans do not usually go to the CBD, preferring the many malls to be found in the suburbs. The CBD, once a thriving area, declined in the 1980's and 90's. There is now ...
Johannesburg, South Africa pachi... morally and ethically very difficult, especially with the cost-benefit ratio". Whereas in the past King Edward would run out of beds like Edendale does, it has recently divested a large chunk of beds to Mahatma Ghandi Hospital in Phoenix and diverted referrals from KwaMashu and Inanda to Phoenix. HIV clinician Kocheleff, who has worked with the AIDS epidemic in Africa since 1984, believes the two HIV clinics at Greys and Edendale are the only ones of their kind in the province ...
