As a self-confessed shopping hater, I should actually hate this "urban" center in Johannesburg. But: surprise! Contrary to expectations, the overpriced boutiques and special restaurants in the former industrial hall did not drive me crazy. Sure, the hipster density is high and the prices are more reminiscent of Zurich. But the architecture is interesting and the seemingly harmless part of town allows you to sip overpriced organic lemonade without fear. Perfect for spending money on things you don't need, surrounded by people who look like you. Don't forget your sunglasses, the shine of uniqueness is blinding!
