Joburg way up high

Gold Reef City, Johannesburg 27 June 2010
From my vantage point at the top of the ferris wheel, the city spreads out below me like a tapestry. The red, green, brown and grey bumps of buildings, houses and trees stretches into the horizon as far as I can see. East, West, Joburg is best. 


Moving to the big city of Johannesburg at the beginning of this year was a career-driven decision as I wanted to make my mark on the South African media landscape. But I never really thought I'd find my place in this fast-paced, 'crime-infested' concrete jungle.


However, I've discovered that the city offers a kaleidoscope of people, places and new experiences and I am loving being able to explore all that it has to offer! And about all that concrete? Turns out Joburg is reputed to be the world's largest urban forest!
