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 (a.k.a. the Blogitects) just got back from an epic trip up and down the East Coast of America.

A new cat, Brixton, has joined the Blogitect household. We call her Brixie for short. Trixie is still getting used to her.

In the most recent installment of my Hidden Joburg series I visit the Freemasons' Hall in Parktown, designed by Gordon Leith in the 1950s.

Lilian Road Studios is a collection of funky artists' studios in a historic building in Fordsburg. They have Open Studio days on Dec. 10-11.

In the latest installment of my Hidden Joburg series, I visit the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen, in Hillbrow.

Thorsten needed a black-tie suit for a gala event at the Rand Club. We decided to go super-Jozi on the design.

Our jacaranda weekend in Rosebank included a group walk through Rosebank and Parkwood and a stay at the Tyrwhitt's luxury penthouse.

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

Joburg in October is different from any other month. Summer has arrived and the blooming jacarandas make it nearly impossible to feel sad.

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

In my most recent Sleeping in Jozi experience, Thorsten and I spent the night at the Rand Club's luxurious Room 7.
