Johannesburg

Jo'burg.

I am surprized at the size of this town. It is massive. I am staying in a northern suburb of Dunkield. I have three malls within half hour walk.
This town is the center for the countries industries. South African breweries is the biggest of them all. The brewery owens Miller draft beer in the U.S.
Most castle beer is sold cheap here. 12 rand for a 750 ml bottle (1 USD is 7.5 rand).
The traffic is stupendious.

It has taken me a bit of time of get used to the lifestlye here. There are two stadiums in J'burg that are been used for the world cup. Ellis Park is right in the city of J'burg and Soccer city, which is in Soweto. The downtown core is not a place to roam around. There is plenty of crime.

Soweto is a suburb of Johannesburg.
