Yeah I was in a bit of a rush with explaining the photos. I might have to go back later on and see what I typed and if it was put onto the right photo.
Shit Terrah where were you 6 weeks ago. oh well
lack of nightlife? You definitely need a car in Joburg to experience it properly unfortunately, it is a very big city with many different enclaves that all offer something different and more interesting than the bland and brash shopping malls in Sandton and Fourways that tourists seem to gravitate towards. I admit it's not really a tourist city but there are still plenty of things to do. I'm very surprised that Melville was quiet when you visited, it's always a very vibrant place day and night but Joburgers are very spoilt by the weather because it's usually so sunny and warm for most of the year and it's has been a particularly cold winter this year so I think most residents have chosen to stay at home rather than brave the cold nights this winter. You should have visited the regenerated CBD areas like Newtown, Arts on Main and the Carlton Centre. The older Northen suburbs like Rosebank, Parkhurst and Greenside are great for road side bars, restaurants and cafes (all walkable) and 44 Stanley Avenue in Milpark is worth a look too. The 'jol' in Joburg is much better than in Cape Town in my opinion, you just have to know where to look!
leopards? Hey mate,
yeah, we only spend one night in joburg...i've never heard of someone loving it.
keep the updates coming...though your "leopards" look kind of like a cheetah and a lion?

I think you take Australian comments too literally.
I think South Africa has handled it a lot better than the Caribbean Cricket World Cup 2 years ago.
Rustenburg is a weird place to have football world cup matches though... It's different. Nothing's wrong with the stadium or a community running it. I don't think there is anything like it before. But this article is more about the game. Apologies if I have offended.
Don't really care about Rugby unless its there in front of me on the TV. But hey Im here now might watch Australia lose by a penalty goal or two in a few months time.
congrats why must you take your team's downfalls out on our remarkable country, our successful handling of the tournament, etc
Rustenburg is a small bush town, so the fuck what?? I know Aussie has plenty of those.
hijack area signs, let's see there are maybe 4 in the whole country and the Bafokeng family live the way they
have for quite awhile... and why not applaud them for their business endeavors whilst maintaning a traditional lifestyle???
Aussies are gone and Springboks will pack them up as well soon.

wondering hey dude, wow, interesting post out there. i guess there's a lot to say about tajik. how did you manage to travel to tajik? i wanted to visit tajik somewhere early next year since India will be my first stop and followed by Nepal. not sure if crossing the border to pakistan and afghanistan safe to do so.
Sign I was actually talking about the street name sign. It is so hard to navigate where a street is when in the guide book the naems are only in English.
Only if street naems were in numbers I had that covered.
Dushanbe is a pretty city for central asia and definately worth a trip to see a unique part of the world.
Tajikistan was the best part of my Central Asia trip.
Im not sure where you travelled in Tajikistan maybe it was the time of year but I got checked over everywhere for VISA's and other paper work. Not sure what VISA you are talking about where a small bribe will do. No way I would travel without the paperwork.
I'm not trying to be negative on Tajikistan its just the way it was for me at the time.
Summer would be a better time to be there I suspect.
com'on its not dat bad in TJK com'on dude, its not that bad in tjk..u exaggerate everything...of course the airport control sucks..but dude, its so cheap in Tajakistan...so.. i mean u can bribe a cop for couple bucks, and here we go, no visa , or any sorta ID is needed...damn it, have u visited port-said nite club? its really cool in there...and tadjik chicks are so hot!!!
so its fun to spend a day or so in Dushanbe, guys u should go for it!!!
