Buczer

How Your Downtown (City Center) Area Looks??

Recommended Posts


One of my locals. This one is almost 5 minutes walk away............

Or a half-hour's stagger back home ;)

And a bit of my home town:

Russ, I envy you. Most places here in the States have all the character of a stucco box. That tears it, this yank is turning traitor! I'm setting my sights for the Mother Country! God Shave the Queen!

I work in a city on the outskirts of Johannesburg called Sandton. It is the most expensive property anywhere in Africa, And is probably better off than nearly any 1st world cities Ive seen in Europe.

Capitalism at its finest. 2% of the population live in complete luxury while a considerable portion of the population living in shanty towns. This is not unique to South Africa as it happens in most modernised western countries where the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.

Sorry, besides my bitter opinion about modern capitalism, I also agree that they are beautiful pics (I was thinking about my country where you do have beautiful places like the ones in the pics I posted, but also ohuge levels of poverty and many shantytowns around)! Do you have any more?

You were just agreeing with the negative comment directed at capitalism. :P I am not a fan of capitalism in its most pure form and i am perfectly willing to express my feelings to everyone.

So am I ;) I just didn't want it to be taken as an attack on Wez's pics. Had my share with misunderstanings on the forum yesterday on the "Schumi: I couldn't work with Dennis" thread

Nah, it didn't seem your fault at all. Shane went ballistic because he misunderstood you and he apologised for it. End of story :D

Here some more pics of Sandton...

No surprise that all the Formula 1 drivers and anyone else famous always stay in Sandton hotels. Book your accommodation for the 2010 world cup there now ;)
