Trip to South Africa

While my recent trip to South Africa was primarily for work, I couldn’t spend a week there and not do some touristy things!

The absolute highlight of the trip was being eaten by a lion!

If you’re in Joburg, visit Lion Park – an amazing place.

Other highlights included….

I went up Table Mountain.

I saw Robbin Island from Signal Hill.

I visited the Apartheid Museum.

I used Untappd to check in to some great South African beers & ciders.

I discovered just how well used SMS is in South Africa.

As well as learning about Africa’s mobile movie scene – including feature films shot entirely on mobile.

I found a phone / taser.

This "phone" is a multi-shock taser. Yours for ~60. Shocking! http://t.co/WKzJX6i

And I saw some great hotel lighting UE.

Every single hotel room should have light switches like this #UI #UX #DesignOfEverydayThings http://t.co/R4GMrHS

South Africa was an amazing place to visit. Friendly people, beautiful scenery, and great beer. I hope I can go back there on a proper holiday soon.
