Johannesburg, African gold
Johannesburg is 'the golden place', 'Igoli' in Zulu. To touch this precious material from South Africa, spending four nights at the Monarch hotel with breakfast included and flying with Emirates, you had to answer a simple question: What is your favorite destination on the African continent and why?
The winner's answer was Nairobi . And why, pure literature. congratulations to Beatrice Carrera (and her companion) and thank you very much for sharing your experience with us:
When I was about 12 years old I read in my language and literature book a poem by Person. He fascinated me and has remained etched in my memory:
Yes, I know
that I will never be someone
i know plenty
that I will never have work.
And I know, yeah
that I will not know about myself.
But now,
at this time,
in these branches,
in this peace in which we are,
let me believe me
what is impossible for me to be.
To which I add:
let me believe me to be Karen Blixen on her farm in her Africa,
let me see the infinite sunsets in the savannah,
let me see the look of the lion,
let me be able to say: I have finally felt the magic of Africa in my soul
For all these reasons, my favorite African destination would be Nairobi, Kenya.
Johannesburg reminds me, and more so these days, of Madiba . To think of stepping on the country of one of the men I have most admired and admire It provokes an emotion in me that is difficult to express. But not only, it also takes me to the American musician Rodriguez , with whose background music I write this mail. Thanks to South Africa for keeping his incredible music alive and bringing him back to the stage, from where he should never have come down.
The ultimate city stay
