Joburg

My plane flight over was ordinary, the turbulence was terrible the majority of the flight from Malaysia to South Africa. I arrived quite early around 6am and went straight to a backpackers in Joburg. I was quite content with just bumming around the backpackers for most of the day but this Italian guy I met wanted to see the city. We took a taxi to the city center in Joburg and spend a few hours walking around Hilbrow and the surrounding areas, the Italian guy really wanted to eat Pap so we stoped off at some restaurant.

By some stroke of luck the Joburg art gallery was just around the corner so we went and had a look. They had a photo exhibition with photos spanning 1950-2010. The photos of the apartheid and pre apartheid era were really interesting but also very sad! I would try to describe some of the photos but its one of those things you really need to see.

I went to the Ghanaian embassy today to get my visa, but they wont give it to me, so ill have to get it either in Kenya or Namibia.

I'm off to Jane Furse tomorrow to catch up with some friends!! otherwise I have nothing much planned
