New Year in Johannesburg




Landed at OR TAMBO International Airport , Johannesburg at 0815 am 01 Jan 2009.
Went straight to the bed after a hectic 8 hours flight from Abu Dhabi. The weather there almost similar to KL with sunny day till afternoon then follow by thunderstorm in late evening. Everything was closed on the public holiday , the only shop opened were the restaurant and fast food outlets. Met MAS cabin crew having dinner at Bullrun Restaurant, nearby my hotel, Holiday Inn.
Walked to Sandton City which is about 1 km from my hotel on the 2 nd morning and on the way stopped by at Nelson Mandela Square. The big mall at Sandton still empty but most of the shops were opened, easy for me to walk around for window shopping.
