What is this blog for?

Yes, I am lucky enough to realize one of my dream: doing a world-tour traveling Eastward, crossing about 20 countries during 7 months :-))
This blog tries to share part of this personal experience, through pictures, descriptions and thoughts. This is also to keep a track for me to remember later on ;)

Langa township visit

Saturday April 13th

Today is the departure of my 19 road trip through Southern Africa, youhouh! :) We start with a small but interesting tour of the Langa township / slum. As we go and walk there, with a local guide of course, as well as enter houses... we can see and discover more the living conditions and people.

As Soweto, various level of houses / poverty, but the people we meet are really welcoming. Still striking to see the inside of the houses... it could be a XIXth century view sometimes...

Inside a "medium" level house and the central court



New upscale houses with joyful children welcoming us


A church.  (!!!)... and a colorful hair salon

New individual houses with solar panels to be more independent electricity wise


Very low level shacks... sad to see :(

  1. Petite précision: les panneaux sur les maisons sont des panneaux solaires thermiques, pour la production d'eau chaude sanitaire et non de l'électricité ;)
