Can I not just be a citizen of the world?

I do not understand why the UK has to be so stingy about South Africans visiting their country. I mean all I want is to intern there for a few months but I can't because I am not a part of whatever elite countries are allowed that privilege. Like, what are they afraid of? It's not like I plan to rock up there with a South African flag, stick it in the ground and claim the land as my own.

Come on England, help a sister out. Although I do also blame the South African government for not sorting itself out. They are not a part of all these agreements and things which would let me travel the world as I wish. And I know independence is great, but if we were still under British rule, this would not be a problem.

A part of me now plans to be an illegal immigrant, and swim from the top of Africa to the UK and somehow create a fake British identity for myself. I will then speak with a fake British accent for the duration of my stay or claim that I am the daughter of some famous African prince (it should work, right?)

So that's me, ranting about the world and its problems, and it honestly didn't help much.

That's all, Bye! :)

Johannesburg is actually quite beautiful

I have always known that Johannesburg is an amazing city, but I was never really sure about its beauty. Today we were working on a promotional shoot for a TV show and our location had an amazing view of the Johannesburg skyline.  I find it intriguing that a city which is considered harsh and unforgiving could be so beautiful.

It reminds me of when I watch international TV shows and they always have a view of the skylines in the big cities and one can immediately tell where it was shot. In Johannesburg the distinguishable Johannesburg tower serves the similar purpose in identifying the city as the empire state building in New York, The Eiffel Tower in Paris, the London Bridge in London or that really really tall building in Dubai.

This is not my picture by the way (http://castletv.net/wp-content/forumuploads/jssa/2012/12/jhb-skyline-1.png)

This is the one I took, it's not that great because I din't have a great camera with me but you get the point.

I wish more people were appreciative of my home city and that they didn't just see it as a crime ridden- money making machine (which it is, but there is so much that people don't see.)

That's all, Bye :)
