April Restaurant of the Month: The Bagel Zone

A few months ago I blogged about Feigel’s Kosher Delicatessen in Glenhazel. I was excited to find Feigel’s because they sell authentic boiled bagels, which are hard to find in Johannesburg.

Things I Like in Linden

Last week I was invited to try out a co-working space called Basecamp, which is in Linden.

A co-working space is basically an office for people like me – people who don’t exactly have jobs. I’d been wanting to try one for a while, hoping that working in a quasi-office-like environment would help me to be more productive.

Fashion Makeover with Dr. Pachanga

As I’ve said before, I consider myself to be an unfashionable person. But the longer I live in South Africa, the more fashionable I feel. I find the fashion in South Africa – and Africa in general – more fun than fashion in the United States. (No offense, American fashion designers: It’s not you, it’s me.)

My Favorite Jozi Coffeeshops: Flynn Coffee

This post, featuring Flynn Coffee, is the third in an occasional series about my favorite new coffeeshops in Joburg.

In the third installment of a series on my favorite new Jozi coffeeshops, I bring you Flynn Coffee in Kramerville.

The Melville Cat: My Favorite Feline Instagrammers

From the Melville Cat:

As many of you know, I am an Instagrammer as well as a blogger. You can peruse my Instagram photos at @TheMelvilleCat.

This photo, which portrays me relaxing thoughtfully on my bedroom floor, recently appeared on my Instagram feed. Heather shoots all of my photos, with active direction from me.

I also enjoy following the adventures of my fellow felines on Instagram. The feline Instagram community is prolific, perhaps because cats are so obviously photogenic (especially me).

Skateboarding Across Jozi

I consider myself a connoisseur of Joburg walking tours. When I found out there is a skateboarding tour of Joburg, I obviously had to try it.
