Going to South Africa

19:00
Ten hours flying and this plane will arrive at Johannesburg, South Africa. My hart is beating faster than it normally do. It’s the unknown Johannesburg-thing, which makes me nervous but not in negative way. It is just that I want that our CouscousGlobal-goes-to-South Africa-adventure must start…
23:00
Tako arrives at the main hall of the airport and he will give me a ride to his Bed and Breakfast Guesthouse, where I will stay the following days. We’re driving through the centre of Johannesburg. This is my first impression of this city. It looks like a place full of opposites: Rich and poor, clean and dirty, black people sleeping on the streets and white people (like me) sitting in a car, suburbs and downtown. The only thing that is constantly cheering up is the amount of beautiful trees. Johannesburg is the biggest man-made forest in the world. Many threes were planted at the end of the 19th century, to provide wood for the mining industry…the first thing I learned about Johannesburg.
