I needed a working space to collaborate with M, my colleague and Rosebank was the first choice. For many reasons:
Sandton is just gridlocked
Rosebank is closer to me
There’s great coffee in Rosebank at Motherland Coffee – with great chill vibes playing in the background – my ideal workspace
It’s trendy and cosmopolitan
There are amazing clothes shops which are a treat to windowshop
It’s across the road from the Gautrain station, convenient for M who came from Cape Town to support me at an important client meeting
I found a water feature – it was new to me – and it’s probably been there for ages. I only noticed it today. In any event, below are some of the pics I took (notice the mandatory coffee and muffin pic…?)
I went to the CBD yesterday and took these pics of buildings in Commissioner street. It is sad to see some derelict buildings next to nice ones (I didn’t take photos of the derelict ones).
I especially love the mural at the entrance to the Rea Vaya bus station.
