Jozi

Here’s a bit of a quick glimpse and tour of great Johannesburg blogs and sites I discovered over the last weeks . Many with plenty of amazing photos. Jump into the world wide web for a bit and explore Jozi, aka the City of Gold.

There is for instance therealjohannesburg.blogspot.com which brings updates on the rejuvenation of the city.

And stop at urbanjoburg.blogspot.com for nearly daily updates on events and happenings around town. Nice mix of photos and commentary.

Take a hike (in a positive sense) to jhbdaily.blogspot.com. This site tries to capture the rhythm of Jozi and it’s contrasts through photography. Nice one.

From the contrast through photos to walking the streets of the urban sprawl is just a click away:www.jhburbanwalks.blogspot.com

And why not visit the official Joburg city site too. It’s informative and well done:
www.joburg.org.za/

I for instance discovered there some contacts for dune surfing. People from Joburg are a creative bunch. They don’t have the beaches of the Cape or the surf waves of Durban,... but it doesn’t stop them for organising thrilling ‘snow’boarding activities on the old, high mine dumps. For real! Check it out and call Pure Rush Industries (the name says it all): Marco on +27 82 605 1150 or Duncan on +27 72 443 7000.

And yeah, don’t wait till June 2010 to try out some of these sights and adventures...
