One of the things I love most about Jozi is just spending time here with great people having great conversation while enjoying great food. I know you can find that in a lot of places, but something about the year-round outdoor weather, the welcoming and friendly social culture and the plethora of lovely spots to enjoy company make it all very conducive for relaxing among friends.
Given this was our last weekend in the city before the Christmas holidays, we made it count: we spent time catching up over dinner with a remarkable friend (someone who was very instrumental in us coming here in the first place), we introduced our favourite South African couple to one of our go-to spots in the city (Neighborgoods market), we enjoyed an al fresco dinner with the first person we met when we arrived in the city exactly eight months ago (and who went above and beyond to help make our transition as seamless as possible), and then we capped off the weekend being treated to a true South African family braai. Whew! And the best part? We hope for many more weekends just like this one in the new year.
