JNB : Pretoria...

On Sunday, lepas breakfast terus g ke R0sebank Mall, g ke rooftop flea market... mmg african market kat sini je yg byk iklan kat mana2... perhaps byk lagi yg ada kat joburg ni, but when safety is one big issue here... yg kat mall lah preferred.
A very good place to search for souvenirs and gifts... hehehe... almost like the masaai market kat nairobi cuma the mixture of item sini lebih variety. kalau kat masaai market cuma brg africa sini, carpet dr turki pun ada... and antique from britain pun ada... plus the market pun luas gak...
sesekali ada gak street performance... ada org main music and of course dance... very lively... spend a couple of hours kat sini, pastu jalan2 kat dalam Mall.... R0sebank mall antara mall yg besar kat Joburg ni...

Pastu kitaorang drive approx 45mins - 1 hour to Pretoria. Pretoria ni umpama Putrajaya. Bandar pentadbiran - government office. Masa anti apartheid march dulu, depa plan berarak menuju ke pretoria menuntut pilihanraya (if i'm not mistaken lah). So Joburg tu mcm KL dan Pretoria macam Putrajaya.

Nothing much there except Union Buildings where the office of the president. i can say, sama mcm central joburg, pretoria ni lebih ramai org kulit hitam... in fact, kat street dia almost 80% - 90% org kulit hitam... btw, they are the majority in this country of course lah...
both of these places, joburg dan pretoria ni potray satu benda yg jarang kita nampak i.e. a developed country where so many org kulit hitam... ooh... washington pun sebenarnya gini... hehehe... kenkadang kita dibayangkan org kulit hitam ni mcm bahaya n menakutkan (mmg ada terasa mcm tak selamat) as if depa ni makan org atau minum darah (ni aku quote cakap boss aku, african kulit hitam)... they are just like any other normal human yg mahukan kemajuan... :-) tp yg heran among kulit hitam pun kata certain tempat tu tak selamat or seumpamanya... hmm...

Ok... pas pretoria, kitaorg g ke Sandton. It is said kat Sandton ni area selamat... saying that sbb kat sini ramai org kulit putih. banyak offices kat area ni... and the big sandton mall (yg sambung ngan mandela square tu) pun kat sini... wandering around... tgk2 barang.. as i said earlier mall sini mmg tutup awal.. by 6 semua dah tutup, tinggal cinema n restaurants je... anyway, tmpt ni mmg overall ramai org kulit putih... yes, u do feel safe... pelik but its true...
