Johannesburg, South Africa

Feels like the wild west when they ask if you carry a gun before a meeting...




Barbwire or electric fencing on every house


So, after being back in Dubai for 12 hours it was time to take the taxi to the airport to go to Johannesburg, South Africa. After a eight hour flight and some problems with the hotel booking I was able to go to sleep fairly late. The next day was filled with customer presentations so not much time to do anything (you wouldn't go out anyway...).

When I arrived back at the hotel the next day the door to the room next to mine was broken up with a crowbar... Not the best feeling of security.

a As usual there was no time to see anything besides the usual trip between the hotel and the office, but having traveled a lot the last weeks I was happily surprised when I was able to get a earlier flight home so that I landed Thursday night rather than Friday morning. There has been a lot of 6 day workweeks the over the last year.
