Yola Minnaar, a cook and community leader, makes and sells koesisters, a Cape Malay specialty, from her kitchen in Fietas, Johannesburg.

We spent a weekend in Kensington, a suburb on the east side of Joburg, at the Fishbird Villa. It was great to get away in our own city.

Thorsten and I spent a weekend in Greyton, a small town less than two hours from Cape Town, and also made a brief wine-tasting stop in Malgas.

Thorsten and I spent three fantastic days at an Airbnb in Suurbraak, a village about three hours from Cape Town in the Overberg Mountains.

I spent Friday morning at the Joburg Market, the largest fresh produce market in Africa, just outside of downtown Joburg.

My sister and I spent four days exploring Rhode Island, America's smallest state. Here's a list of all the fun things we did.

Fiver and I went to Buyuk Chamlija, a "socio eco techno village" in Centurion, to pick pomegranates and eat Turkish food.

I recently discovered Bev's Burgers, a secret burger joint operating out of the kitchen at the Irish Club in Linden.

My mom and I did a lot of quirky things on our road trip through South Africa. But the main quirky highlight was all the padstals we visited.

In honor of the Chinese New Year, I had a delightful lunch of dumplings, tea, and cake at Tea and Antique in Bedfordview.

Thorsten and I -- aka the Blogitects -- are leading a fun arts and architecture walking tour through Brixton on 12 November.

In the next episode of my Hidden Joburg series I review the Radium Beer Hall, Joburg's oldest continually running bar.
