A Day In Town
Sunday, March 15, 2015
Hey Friends!
So I know I haven't posted in a while but school has been really busy and so has life. Today my dad and I went to Town, Johannesburg. If you are a South African you'll know that Town in Johannesburg is not the safest place in the world, however there is an awesome place in Town called the Maboneng Precinct. This is the super hipster and vibey and very market-like. IT IS AWESOME!
We went there initially to look at potential apartment option for him and I. We were also looking at the market and restaurants and theatres that are there.
One of the super cool things about this place is it has unique things like an old fashioned Bio scope. One of the old fashioned movie theatre. It doesn't show main stream movies like The Imitation Game etc. it shows movies from a couple years ago and that not many people have heard about.
If you live in Jo'burg, go check it out. http://www.thebioscope.co.za/
Another awesome place and most delicious we went to was a place called Arts on Main. This is actually a very well known place in Jo'Burg, SA Fashion Week has been held here a couple times and awesome markets too. In here were awesome foodie goodies and delicious ones too.
This is "fresh" delicious Biltong, dried meat for those non-South Africans
These are cupcakes in a jar! It is by a husband - wife team that do customised Sweet Tables for you. These looked so good and was such a good idea. If you want to contact them here's their website: http://www.candywasted.com/
Unfortunately I don't know who these were from but I'm sure you can find them at Arts on Main again.
HOW GOOD DOES THIS LOOK! This was chorizo sausage, pepper and rocket in a delicious roll. It was so good! I will really make this for myself.
I absolutely loved looking at the old Johannesburg and the beautiful buildings that we saw on the way. One of being the old Post Office building which is unfortunately falling apart a bit but is nevertheless still beautiful.
There is another pretty cool shop called iwas shot in joburg :). It has super cool South African bits and pieces that are really authentic.
As we were leaving we saw someone teaching the local kids how to play the guitar. She called the sessions Sidewalk Sessions. They were so cute and put a smile on my face.
Please go check her out!
I hope some of you check Maboneng Precinct out. It is super cool and has awesome things to do.
