Movement

It's 10h30 and 1.5 hours till I am past my deadline...here goes my fourth blog of May which is very apt for this moment... movement! Its been a busy day, I have a never ending list of things to do and want to do, there aren't enough hours to do them in and its ALREADY (almost) JUNE! What is happening to this year? This is typical Joburg, and as much as we hate the speed at which it moves, we also love it deep down! There is always another day in Jozi, always another joy ride if you missed the first one and always something new to try! I love the fact that if you don't keep moving with it, it will leave you behind, I love that it keeps you on your toes, it keeps you alert, aware and in touch...there are times when I hate it (like now when all I want to do is sleep) but more times when I love it...

German Schulbasar

Today we took on the German Schulbasar (school bazaar aka beer fest). And I have to say events like the German and Portuguese festivals are what make Jozi way cooler than the mother city! My day was stuffed with bockwurst, sauerkraut, eisbein and kuchen! And even sans festivities, where else in South Africa can you get the best Indian, Chinese, German, African or any other genuine bit of lip smacking culture... all in one city? If your pallet is watering, check out these places...
Indian - Bismillah, Forsburg
Chinese - Fishermans Plate, Cyrildene
German - Seemans, Randburg or Northcliff
Portuguese - Adega, Bryanstan
Italian - Super Sconto (Louie Botha rd) or Tortellino d'Oro (Oaklands)

Football Friday

I am not sure what the rest of the country is looking like at this moment but Joburg has definitely caught football fever!!Every where you turn the flag is flying! And since in Jozi we just love to spend so much time in our cars, these have become our preferred 'vehicle' of showing off ;) The daring ones fly two flags and the larny ones have socks for their side mirrors. My car is looking like a bit of a plain Jane...but i'll get there...

Autumn

I stand to be corrected but as far as I know Johannesburg has THE best autumn and winter...I used to live in the eastern cape where there was essentially only two seasons...summer...and an attempt at winter! But Joburg is something different; in Autumn especially...because of the amount of tree's and the perfect climate...the result...see below... isn't autumn a beaut~!
