Durban, South Africa

Date: 12 - 19 July 2013
Reason: ICANN Meeting

Went to Africa for 2nd time in my life.. this time, Durban .. it's a beautiful place with sea view.. the hotel that I stayed faced the ocean, it was such a lovely view with a very very strong wind..

I didn't went anywhere except looking for food because the meeting was very long and tiring .. but that was the main reason I'm here, so no complaining.. 

My experience:

1. Durban is a small, but beautiful town.. clean in most of the area .. it has few interesting places not far from the city.. very nice place to do your morning or evening run / jog / walk..


strong wind...
 

Unique dumpster..
2. It's a muslim city.. majority of the restaurants are halal.. Alhamdulillah.. soo I'm so LOVE THIS PART!!!!

but they still have few beggars around, so it was quite sad to see people begging for your food while you were enjoying it.. no wonder people don't sit by the window in every restaurant.. :'(

it always make me feel so thankful for everything I have..
I forgot the name of this restaurant, but it's just next to my hotel .. and it's so yummy!
Halal KFC.. wuhuuuu love it!!! Chakalakalalalaaa chicken.. :D
Always look for this sign..
Restaurants by the beach..
3. Durban also known as Bollywood city as it has lots of Indian stayed and became permanent resident / south african nationality in this city...

4. I also like to see surfers in the morning while viewing the sunrise at 6.30am..

Beautiful Sunrise..

My favorite moment!!

5. I managed to skip lunch (because it was Ramadhan - fasting month) and take a short ride to the top of Durban's stadium.

Inside the small train...
View or Durban..
ok, it's not really a train.. just a small box with wheel.. hehehe ..

6. Few more last photos.. 

Overall ... it's a nice place to have a meeting and to come for work... and surfing.. if you surf .. ;)
