Josh/EJ - Union Buildings Pretoria, Capital Building South Africa

The Union Buildings form the official seat of the South African government and also house the offices of the President of South Africa. The imposing buildings are located in Pretoria, atop Meintjieskop at the Northern end of Arcadia, close to historic Church Square and the Voortrekker Monument. The large gardens of the Buildings are nestled between Government Avenue, Vermeulen Street East, Church Street, the R104, and Blackwood Street. Fairview Avenue is a closed road where only officials can enter to the Union Buildings. Though not in the center of Pretoria the Union Buildings occupy the highest point of Pretoria, and constitute a South African National monument. The Buildings are one of the centres of political life in South Africa; "The Buildings" and "Arcadia" have become metonyms for the South African Government. It has become an iconic landmark of Pretoria and South Africa in general, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and an emblem of democracy. The Buildings are the location of Presidential Inaugurations.

Tour of Johannesburg South Africa suburbs, streets Part 1

http://myworldtravel.weebly.com Me and my tour guide and friend jack meyerwitz giving me a tour of Johannesburg South africa suburbs. we drove through the suburbs of Hyde park, lower sandton, Dunkeld west, rosebank, glenhazel, parktown, savoy, ilovo, Waverly, norwood, Fairmont and others. there are many suburbs in Johannesburg but they are quite small and as you can see you can drive through them very quickly. I myself walked through sandton, hyde park and Rosebank in only 35 minutes. It is a very interesting place and i suggest you come visit here soon.
