It is a very strange (to me) city.
While is is a very black city, I (as a white man) never felt off.
It is a crime filled city.... when we left the Joberg airport via car to our hotel with Michael & Tommie, I saw a number of men with rifles standing guard. But other than that we never felt it.

But the contrasts made it come alive to us.

Don't be stupid & do stupid things, but you'd not do that in any city in the world, either.

Just be aware & embrace what the city has to offer. It has a lot to offer.
