Shaken, not stirred...

Vodka martinis even Bond would approve, I would dare say.

So I've spent a whopping five days in Johannesburg and where have I been? The Hilton Sandton and the office. Yeah.

I need to get out more.

I did walk (in the rain) to the Village Walk mall which is right across the street.

I got the martini after coming back to the hotel.

I really need to get out more.

JNB - Johannesburg - Day 1

Posted by Joe at 1/25/2009 09:13:00 AM

The international arrivals hall is modern, well organized and nothing like the chaotic arrival hall of Riyadh.

If you are coming from the US, NEDBANK works with debit cards sporting the Visa and Plus logos while Standard Bank did not.

Internet acces is available at the airport. I was able to use the company-provided iPass service to get access. I haven't tested VoIP here at the airport yet.

MJ's Party

Posted by Joe at 1/16/2009 07:49:00 PM

Yeeeoow! Look at those boots!

I married the hot one!

??, Rosina (MJ's mom) and MJ

Some Trinity Irish Dancers and Aeryn. Rosina and Mike pull out all the stops as usual.

Michael Junior's (MJ) birthday party. He's a lucky kid to have Rosina as a mom and his father's money. Mike's a good guy. He just has bad politics (read: Joe doesn't agree with him.)

Party was big, with lots of friends and family of MJ. He seemed to really like the Carousel.
