Joburg Awesomeness: Arts on Main

I live in the city of Johannesburg, in the beautiful country of South Africa.  Johannesburg, or "Joburg" as it is affectionately called, is an urban jungle: a surging, gritty, bustling metropolis and South Africa's (and Africa's) economic capital. That being said, it is also awesome.

There are so many incredible things to do in Joburg that I have decided to write a series on it.  What the urban adventurer can get up to in this fabulous city.

My first totally awesome thing to do is the Sunday flea market at Arts on Main.  Arts on Main is in itself a totally cool hangout. The venue holds several galleries and urban chic clothing stalls.  On Sunday the place transforms into the boho/glam hangout of the young and trendy.  This is the place that cool office mate yours buys their vegan chocolate and too-cool-for-school vintage slacks. My favourite experience was sitting under a cluster of olive trees drinking Ethiopian coffee freshly roasted and ground in an Ethiopian coffee ceremony.  In the middle of the city!



Bring cash as most places don't have credit card machines.  Then eat your vegan chocolate truffles and seaweed snacks whilst lying on the grass next to other pretty people.
Sounds good? Check it out: http://www.artsonmain.co.za/
