I cannot believe a week has passed since I got back! SA is an amazing place and at my every gasp of surprise, my South African colleague responded - 'welcome to Africa!'
The only real way to travel is by car; but you have to be ready for serious traffic jams - especially during load shedding i.e. power cut when means the traffic lights are out!
The food is great - I ate very well - they always provide big portions!
Went to Soweto where I saw things ranging from squat camps to a newly built mall selling Kurt Geiger! Disparity...!
Went to Sandton city shopping centre on Sunday - it is HUGE - probably could have spent the whole week there! Moving away from the city, the mountainous areas are just stunning and serene.
The careers fair at the University of Pretoria was also a great success - lots of companies attending, lots of inquisitive students and the grounds of the uni were an idyllic setting.
So all in all, fantastic trip and can't wait to go again next year!
Photos will be up shortly...
Now just over a week to go before a flight and a half to brissie land!
Lots of arrangements still to make, flat viewings to arrange and friends/family to eat with!
