Johannesburg, Again...


In the span of two months, this is my third time to Joburg. Considering the lack of excitement predicted, I am not too excited. When I touch down, the headline reads "Snowburg", where Joburg has her first snowfall since 10 September 1981. And that's 26 years ago!

I begin to sense that my presence here, with the extremely cold weather is rather interesting. With some really good company, we have dinner at Cape Town Fish Market, where I ordered Sole and Grilled Calamari. Of course, to be accompanied by a semi-sweet local wine!

Oh yeah, I watched March of the Penguins which I've always been waiting for. Something about emperor penguins that I admire...very humane and full of togetherness.

It is also a day when Tony Blair officially stepped out of 10 Downing Street while his successor greeted the press for the first time as the new British Prime Minister. And not forgetting the crack down on a potential terror attack near Heathrow.
