A trip to Johannesburg in South Africa

My trip to Johannesburg in South Africa was a memorable one. Johannesburg also known fondly to locals as Joburg is South Africa's biggest city  and capital of its inland Gauteng province, is also known as the City of Gold, or ‘eGoli’ because of its beginnings as a gold-mining town. It is the hub of South Africa's commercial, financial, industrial, and mining undertakings . What amazed me were the tall buildings in the city .I heard that the Hillbrow Tower is the tallest structure in Johannesburg . Joberg has some of Africa’s tallest buildings which house international organizations like IBM, Absa, Willis group Ned   Bank, Standard Bank. What I liked most was the greenery in the city. Trees can be seen everywhere, on sidewalks, pavements and parks. I came to understand why it is called the greenest cities in the world. The clean well maintained streets, the methodical traffic and the friendly people impressed me a lot. Lane discipline is perfectly maintained as traffic rules
