I left the rains...

I arrived for my first ever visit to Africa this afternoon namely Johannesburg South Africa. The eight hour flight across from Dubai was uneventful though thanks to their super on board entertainment system I think I am now addicted to watching "Boston Legal" and "House" - both excellent US dramas.

On arriving in Jo'burg I was greeted by an old friend of mine. It was really great to catch up as it had been over a year since we had seen each other - but once we started gossiping it seemed like we had not seen each other for a week much less a year. A sign of a great friendship.

The last time we met was in Scotland and now in South Africa - are we now really living in a global village?
