I never knew there was a whole upper street area filllled with car stores on Dr Pixley Kaseme (West) Street?! Saw a cute lil' SUV for R1599 per month! Even came across that place where they sell fake versions of popular cars imported from Japan (I'm not joking) and its For Export Only sign is evidence our government just wont let us South Africans be great:(
Did you know we have a beautiful building cal...led the Zulu Jazz Lounge right next to the Playhouse?! I wanna go in there one day.
And if you just lift your eyes whilst walking down old Smith Street the view of our mini skyscraper-like buildings will take you by surprise...
Looked left down a crowded alley and made a note to see what's on sale there one day(without any valuables on me haha)!A tailor from Congo taught me that Swahili is not just a Kenyan-Tanzanian language but a Southeast African one:)
And lastly but definitely not least I saw that that area at the Market (eMakethe) where all you see are herbs and traditional medicine and animal skins and some Sangomas has a huge, very official sign with HERB MARKET(like, official) printed on it which makes SO much sense now...
We have SUCH a beautiful city. If I had any doubts, I definitely now know it's not my time to leave just yet...
There's so much to still explore! My hope for 2016 is to find a like-hearted person who'll join me for it-including the dodgy alleys:)
