Not only is the city considered one of the fastest changing cities in the world, but it has also become the largest city and economic center in South Africa, with the Johannesburg Stock Exchange being one of the top 10 financial markets in the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe white residential area in the north is full of giant buildings and entertainment venues.

The noise and bustle are no different from those of the big cities in Europe and the United States, but the city is also full of worrying security problems. The influx of migrant workers has resulted in a high rate of unemployment, the vast majority of whom are unskilled and poorly educated blacks, and the deterioration of law and order has led to frequent robberies.

There is also an atmosphere of ethnic conflict brewing. However, in Frank's view, most cases are inseparable from the victim's own excessive bragging or revenge by the enemy.

There is also a sad situation that some people who do not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky mistakenly enter the black area, and this kind of thing of sending money to the door cannot complain that the black brothers are ruthless. Chatting and chatting, Yunluo couldn't help but see the city on the other side of the world.

Sandton is one of the few safer areas in Joburg, with two large shopping outlets, Sandton CityShoppingMall and Nelsonmandelasquare, close to each other.

In such a big shopping mall, it was raining heavily outside and light rain inside, and Frank was embarrassed to say, "Let the guests laugh." ”

When you come to this+, please stand on the circle with the lights in the middle and shout——, as for why you do this? You'll find out if you do it yourself! Parking lots in big cities are mostly self-service.

If you come with friends, these two malls should be the paradise of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, but Nalan Shiqi has no interest in shoppingmall at all, it is raining heavily outside, and after walking around, Frank asks Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo if they would like to go to Monte.

Although there is no interest in casino. But walking around the casino is slightly better than walking around the mall.

When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the largest casino in South Africa, the sky cleared, and the light through the clouds sprinkled fiercely on the European-style castle building, and their eyes flashed in an instant. The castle-like palace has tower-like structures such as a towering bell tower and gatehouse, curved doors and windows, and a ridged roof covered with ochre-red terracotta.

The whitewashed walls are partially made of stone and brick. The walls facing the inner plaza have been cleverly "distressed", giving this building at the end of the last century a time-honored appearance.

Monte covers an area equal to the Vatican, the smallest country in the world; The style of the internal business area is similar to that of the Emperorspalace, with the same majority of restaurants, but the overall size is much larger and more elaborate.

This lap took a little time, and when I came out, I couldn't help but look back at the castle-like façade again.

After digesting some of the food in my stomach, I headed back to Mandela Square because dinner was booked at the "Thebutchershop & Grill" on the edge of the square.

On the way back from Cité Soleil yesterday. Frank asked Yunluo, "Do you know if someone invites you to a steak tomorrow?" Yunluo looked dazed, today on the way back from Bituo, I received a call from a friend, and said sorry to Yunluo, because I had to accompany the guests to Sun City temporarily, so I couldn't go to the appointment at night.

Although Yunluo knew that there were friends on business here, in order not to disturb others, he planned to come and go in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect that the circle of people in Sihai City in South Africa was not large. A friend arranged through Frank's boss to invite Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to have a steak tonight, if it weren't for his temporary matter and called Yunluo. It is estimated that Yunluo will be surprised before eating the steak!

Although his friends couldn't be there, Yunluo still went to try this restaurant, which was recommended by many people. "Butcher" has been rated as a 3* restaurant by RossouwsRestaurant for three consecutive years and is one of the top 10 restaurants in South Africa.

The restaurant is not lavish, but it feels warm, and there is a history of the restaurant's development and awards in the walkway leading to the restrooms. Because he was not hungry, Yunluo ordered a cup of Irish coffee first. It is not an easy task to make this cup of wine + coffee wrong, although Yunluo can't taste the "tears of angels".

But they will still covet the special mellow aroma in the cup. After a short break, the sky gradually darkened, and I read the menu. Ordered a naked eye, a oxtail, two glasses of red wine, the price of the whole bottle is between 2 and 3 glasses, Frank said that he can't touch alcohol during working hours, and Yunluo can finally have a drink before leaving under the name of steak.

Because the lunch has not been completely digested, and the foreigner's dishes are large, this little thing is enough for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to eat, and the pre-dinner snacks - the restaurant's homemade sausage and bread are also very tempting, and the butter with it is very much that Nalan Shiqi likes. This meal was naturally extremely satisfying, and when I got up to leave, the restaurant was actually full.

Sure enough, as Frank said, it is best to book a seat here 2 or 3 days in advance, and if there is a special holiday such as Valentine's Day, it is necessary to book 1 or 2 months in advance.

No amount of food in the stomach is enough to satisfy the heart, this night is the last night in South Africa, close your eyes and sigh slightly, is the successive unhappiness before departure the price of the whole trip surprises?

Slippers are not provided in hotels in Africa, and for so many days, I saw disposable slippers in the hotel where I stayed in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.

Ethiopia is rich in coffee, almost all people coffee, just like Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo countries drink tea for the whole people. Yunluo tasted it, Ethiopia's coffee was sour, but I liked the taste with milk.

There is a kind of macchiato that I like to drink, it tastes a bit like a cappuccino, the difference is that the milk froth on the cappuccino is made of cocoa powder, while the milk froth of the macchiato is made of coffee powder.

I drank half of it before I remembered to take a picture of it, hehe.

The staple food of Ethiopia is a soft dough cake called "Injera", which has a taste and sourness, and Yunluo is not used to eating it, and it feels like the stomach is overflowing with acid after eating a little!

The locals' three meals a day are "Injera", which are eaten with their hands, and the rich can wrap some beef sauce or something, and the rich people can eat it directly with the sauce.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo ate in the ethnic restaurant, which can be regarded as the most luxurious "Injera", eating "Injera" and watching the folk dance performance, when it is over, drink a cup of coffee. Of course, when you enter the door, you also have to go through the security checkpoint.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not stay long in the capital Addis Ababa, because there were few attractions and Ethiopia was not a tourist country. He is the political center of Africa, and every AU meeting is held here! Therefore, he is also one of the largest transit points in Africa, and many of his flights to other countries in Africa are transferred from here.

Ethiopia is the least wealthy and most populous of the three countries that Yunluo visited this time. I don't know if it's because it hasn't been colonized. Although being colonized is not a glorious thing, looking at it, the development of colonized countries is always slightly faster than that of countries that have not been colonized.

Addis Ababa, even though it is the capital of Ethiopia, but except for the five-star hotels, which are beautiful high-rise buildings, most of them are low tin houses, and the materials are a bit like the iron fences during the construction of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo national roads.

In Addis Ababa, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo visited a university wildlife museum, full of animal specimens and profiles, mainly for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to go to Kenya to see animals.

I also went to Addis Ababa University, Yunluo's image of this university is excellent, and it looks like a school with a lot of historical charm. There is also a college for the blind, where it is said that the blind people in Africa are taught here.

There are very good cars running on Ethiopian Road, and some are very old and very old, but they look like antique cars, and there are many dilapidated antique cars like beetles on the street, hehe. Yunluo likes it very much. There are basically no traffic lights on the road, and the police command them manually.

And the cars here, the windows are not allowed to be pasted with dark-colored film, and if you catch it, you will be fined and ordered to tear it off. Unless you have a hospital certificate stating that you have a disease that cannot be exposed to the sun. This decree is not only in Ethiopia, but also in Kenya.

Beetle, it's still antique, I like Addis Ababa Street.

The person who received Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did the work at an extinct volcanic lake resort hotel on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, and the little black boss owed him a lot of money for the project, so he took it there to eat and drink for nothing as soon as a friend came, hehe. That place is called WZ. The view is beautiful.

Addis Ababa's capital airport duty-free shops look like roadside grocery stores. Nothing good to buy.

It's like a shop in the small commodity market of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo Country, Addis Ababa Airport Duty Free Shop. Because of the price problem, I usually have to go out with stacks of Ethiopian paper with money.

Why is it called the black market, because you can exchange dollars there, and the foreign exchange control in Ethiopia is very strict, so many people go here to change.

The black market mainly has all kinds of ornaments carved from black wood, opal (a kind of gemstone), beeswax and other things to buy, and of course ivory, but this cannot be taken out of the country and into the country, and for the sake of environmental protection, it is resolutely not bought. Some of them take a stroll and bargain. Many shop owners will order simple Chinese, hehe, the purchasing power of Chinese people

Generally speaking, the Ethiopian people are very friendly to the Chinese, and they are also a little friendlier than the people of Kenya and Zimbabwe.

Moreover, Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles is very pro-China, both in terms of political stance and economic policy. It's just that the day after Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo fell in Kenya, they learned that Meles had died. (To be continued.) )
