This city is not only considered one of the fastest-changing cities in the world, but has also become the largest city and economic center in South Africa. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange, located in a prosperous area, is one of the world's top ten financial markets. The white residential areas in the north are full of huge buildings and colorful entertainment venues.

The hustle and bustle is no different from the big cities in Europe and America, but the city is also full of worrying public security problems. The influx of a large number of migrant workers has caused a high unemployment rate, and the vast majority of the unemployed are black people who lack skills and have low education levels. The deterioration of public security has led to frequent robberies.

There is also a brewing atmosphere of racial conflict. However, in Frank's opinion, most of the cases are inseparable from the victims' excessive display or revenge by their enemies.

There is also a tragic situation where some ignorant people mistakenly enter the black area. For such a thing that brings money to the doorstep, it is not the fault of the black brothers' ruthlessness. As they chatted, Yun Luo couldn't help but see the city on the other side of the earth.

Sandton is one of the few areas in Johannesburg with good public security. Two large shopping spots, Sandton City Shopping Mall and Nelson Mandela Square, are closely adjacent to each other.

It was such a big mall, but it was raining heavily outside and lightly inside. Frank said embarrassedly: "I am sorry to have embarrassed the customers."

When you come here, please stand on the circle with lights in the middle and shout out - as for why you should do this? You will know after you do it yourself! Parking lots in big cities are basically self-service.

If they came with friends, these two shopping malls would have been a paradise for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, but Nalan Shiqi had no interest in shopping malls at all. It was raining heavily outside. After a quick tour, Frank asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo if they would like to go to Monte.

Although she has no interest in casinos, wandering around casinos can slightly improve Nalan Shiqi's spirits compared to wandering around shopping malls.

When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the largest casino in South Africa, the sky cleared up, and the light through the clouds shone fiercely on the European-style castle building, and their eyes were instantly dazzled. This castle-style palace has towering bell towers and gatehouses, curved doors and windows, and ridged roofs covered with ochre-red tiles.

The painted walls are partially decorated with stone and brick patterns. The wall facing the inner square has been cleverly "aged", giving this late last century building a weathered look.

The area of ​​Monte is equivalent to that of the smallest country in the world - Vatican City; the style of the internal commercial area is similar to that of Emperors Palace, with mostly restaurants, but the overall specifications are much larger and the layout is more refined.

This circle took a little time. After coming out, I couldn’t help but look back at the castle-like exterior wall.

After digesting some of the food in my stomach, I returned to Mandela Square because dinner was booked at "thebutchershop&grill" next to the square.

On the way back from Sun City yesterday, Frank asked Yunluo, "Did you know that someone is inviting you to steak tomorrow?" Yunluo looked confused. On the way back from Biduo today, he received a call from a friend, who apologized to Yunluo because he had to accompany a guest to Sun City and could not keep the appointment in the evening.

Although Yunluo knew that a friend was here on business, in order not to disturb others, he planned to come and go in a low-key manner. Unexpectedly, the circle of people in Sihai City in South Africa is not large. A friend arranged through Frank's boss to treat Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi to steak tonight. If he hadn't called Yunluo for something urgent, Yunluo would probably have been surprised before eating steak!

Although her friend could not attend, Yunluo still tried this restaurant recommended by many people. "Butcher" has been rated as a 3* restaurant by Rossouwsrestaurant (South African food selection) for three consecutive years and is also one of the top ten restaurants in South Africa.

The restaurant is not luxurious, but it feels warm. On the corridor leading to the restroom, there is the history of the restaurant's development and awards. Because she was not hungry yet, Yunluo ordered a cup of Irish coffee. It is not easy to mix this cup of wine + coffee, although Yunluo could not taste the "angel's tears".

But I still crave the special aroma in the glass. After a short break, the sky gradually darkened, and I looked at the menu. I ordered a rib eye, an oxtail, and two glasses of red wine. The price of the whole bottle was between 2 and 3 glasses. Frank said that he couldn't drink alcohol during work hours, and Yunluo took advantage of the steak and finally had a drink before leaving.

Because lunch had not been fully digested, and the foreigner's food was large, this was enough for Nalan Shiqi, Yunluo and the other two. The appetizers - homemade sausages and bread were also very tempting, and Nalan Shiqi liked the butter very much. This meal was naturally very satisfying, and when they paid the bill and got up to leave, the restaurant was already full.

Just as Frank said, it is best to book a seat here 2 or 3 days in advance. If it is a special holiday such as Valentine's Day, it is necessary to book a seat 1 or 2 months in advance.

No matter how much food I put in my stomach, it could not match the satisfaction in my heart. This night is my last night in South Africa. I closed my eyes and sighed slightly. Are all the unpleasant experiences before departure the price to pay for the constant surprises throughout the entire trip?

Hotels in Africa do not provide slippers. During all these days, I only saw disposable slippers in the hotel where I stayed in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.

Ethiopia is rich in coffee, and almost everyone drinks coffee, just like Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Yunluo tasted Ethiopian coffee, which is a bit sour, but he liked it very much after adding milk.

There is a kind of drink called macchiato that I like very much. It tastes a bit like cappuccino. The difference is that the milk foam on cappuccino is made from cocoa powder, while the milk foam on macchiato is made from coffee powder.

I only remembered to take a picture of it when I was halfway through drinking it, haha.

The staple food in Ethiopia is a soft flatbread called "Injera", which tastes very sour. Yunluo can't get used to it. After eating a little, he feels like his stomach is flooded with acid!

The locals eat "Injera" for three meals a day, which they eat with their hands. Rich people can wrap it with beef sauce or something, while poor people just eat it with the sauce.

Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo had the most luxurious "Injera" at the ethnic restaurant. They ate "Injera" and watched the ethnic dance performance. After that, they had a cup of coffee. Of course, they also had to go through the security check when entering.

Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo did not stay in the capital Addis Ababa for a long time, because there are no attractions, and Ethiopia is not a tourist country. It is the political center of Africa, and the African Union meeting is always held here! Therefore, it is also one of the largest transit stations in Africa. Many people transfer from here to other African countries.

Ethiopia is the least wealthy and most populous country among the three countries Yunluo visited this time. I don't know if it's because it has never been colonized. Although being colonized is not a glorious thing, looking at it from a broad perspective, the development of countries that have been colonized is always a little faster than that of countries that have not been colonized.

Even though Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia, except for the five-star hotels which are beautiful high-rise buildings, most of the houses are low iron houses. The materials are a bit like the iron fences used during the construction of the national roads in Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

In Addis Ababa, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo visited a university's wildlife museum, which was full of animal specimens and introductions. The visit was mainly in preparation for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's trip to Kenya to see animals.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

We also went to Addis Ababa University. Yunluo had a very good impression of this university. It was a school with a lot of history. There was also a school for the blind inside. It was said that all the capable blind people in Africa came here to receive education.

There are good cars on the roads in Ethiopia, and there are also very old cars, but they look like antique cars. The streets are full of old antique cars like Beetles, haha. Yunluo likes them very much. There are basically no traffic lights on the roads, and the police manually control the traffic.

Moreover, cars here are not allowed to have dark-colored films on their windows. If you are caught, you will be fined and ordered to remove them. Unless you have a hospital certificate proving that you have a disease that cannot be exposed to the sun, you can only apply it. This law is not only in Ethiopia, but also in Kenya.

The Beetle is an antique. I like it. It’s on the streets of Addis Ababa.

The person who received Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo was doing a project at a dead volcano lake resort hotel in the suburbs of Addis Ababa. The black boss owed him a lot of money for the project, so whenever he had friends over, he would take them there to eat and drink for free, haha. That place is called wz. The scenery is pretty.

The duty-free shops at Addis Ababa's Capital Airport look like roadside grocery stores. Alas! There's nothing good to buy.

Does it look like a store in the small commodity market in Nalanshiqi and Yunluo country? Addis Ababa Airport Duty Free Shop. Because of the price problem, you usually need to carry stacks of Ethiopian paper with money when you go out.

If you want to buy things, you should go to the black market. Why is it called the black market? Because you can exchange dollars there. Ethiopia’s foreign exchange controls are very strict, so many people come here to exchange.

The black market mainly sells various ornaments carved from black wood, opal (a kind of gem), beeswax and other things for sale. Of course, there is also ivory, but it cannot be brought in or out of the country. For the sake of environmental protection, I will never buy it. Some shops are open for shopping, and you have to bargain well. Many shop owners can speak simple Chinese. Haha, the purchasing power of Chinese people is really great.

Generally speaking, the Ethiopian people are quite friendly to the Chinese, and are even friendlier than the people of Kenya and Zimbabwe.

Moreover, Ethiopia's Prime Minister Meles is very pro-China, both in terms of political stance and economic policy. However, the next day when Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo arrived in Kenya, they learned that Meles had passed away. (To be continued...)
