I LOVE JHB!

It seems my love for Johannesburg grows more towards the end of every year.  Johannesburg over the festive season is a dream.  Traffic dies down as most of the people migrate to the coast.  The city's beauty comes out more as you are not distracted by the road rage you get dealing with each other, you actually drive in calm state and can actually take in the beauty of the city.  Johannesburg is a rather green city.  Not your typical concrete jungle that one would expect.  So I have found myself loving Johannesburg in the past few weeks leading up to xmas.

So made some little changes the past 2 weeks that made a huge difference to my life.  I have decided to get a personal PC and leave all the work stuff only on the work PC.  Amen!  I present the holiday gear.  On the left, is the necessities for my trip and on the right is all the work stuff that will be staying in Johannesburg as I embark on some well deserved time to me.  Yay!  Notice the snazzy new bag I got for my Personal PC.  Always feel like working it on the runway when I have that bag.  hehehehehehe



I decided this year to try out the new public transport provided to us.  One of the great successes of the recent 2010 World Cup was the creation of the Gautrain.  What a wonderful public transport system.  All I can say is well done from someone is simply PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN!

The bus was divine.  Different not driving.  For my non South African readers, this is novel as we have to drive everywhere in SA.  But a beautiful air-conditioned bus.  Was reminded of being in London when I was on this bus.

Touch down at OR Thambo, Johannesburg after a pleasant trip on the Gautrain.  Is it not just a sexy beast.  I  never thought I would see the day that I would be using public transport in South Africa.  Truly something to be proud of.







So I was just in the mood to share the love I was having for the city I live in.  I am really looking forward to the holidays this year for some reason.  I just got that good feeling.  Enjoy your festive season for those who are taking time off.
