Food question

As an American that was in your city for a month, I found that your chicken Mayo sandwich is UNBELIEVABLE. What are the basic ingredients that go into to your ā€œchicken Mayoā€/ chicken salad that makes it so good?

Did we change the speed limit on highways?

I've been noticing more and more people driving 80 - 100kmh in the fast lane. Today everyone in the fast lane was under 100kmh and 1 guy even had the balls to hoot and flash when I over took him (I was going 120kmh).

So did we change the speed limit from 120kmh to 100kmh or does nobody give a fuck anymore?

Jewish Delicatessen in Johannesburg

I will be visiting Johannesburg next year so I wanted to see if I can get some Delis/kosher restaurants in the area. Pic is of Feigel's Deli, a very well known kosher deli in Yeoville.

Need help finding the right psychiatrist

I'm from kzn and have no difficulty finding a psychiatrist and psychologist there, especially who accepts medical aid payment.

However, now living in Johannesburg, I've been struggling to find a new psychiatrist who accepts medical aid payment but besides that I want to find a psychiatrist who has very good knowledge and specialises in:

Benzodiazepine withdrawal (most important) SSRI withdrawal Mood stabiliser withdrawal GABA and GABA receptors

Any advice and recommendations greatly appreciated

Jozi's lawless driving style is better

Does anyone else feel that our unique was of driving around Jozi is way better than the rest of South Africa. Red robots are treated as stop streets and I find it way more effective

Less than 24 hours in Johannesburg, recommendations?

As the title says really, I will be landing at about 11am and leaving first thing the next morning. Kinda stuck on how best to use my time, is there anything I shouldn't miss?

I will be doing a 2 day Kruger safari later on so not sure if one of the wildlife trips would still be worth it. I had a look at the cradle of humankind but the only tours I could see left before I will be landing, is that something I should still do myself?

Thanks in advance!

Housing Options beyond Property24

Hi all! I work in Sandton, close to the mall, and Iā€™m looking for a place nearby for next year. I wanted to ask if there are any other places to search besides Property24? Iā€™m from Cape Town, where there are plenty of Facebook groups available, especially for houseshare options. Is there anything similar in Joburg? Thank you!

BMW specialists in the north?

Can anybody recommend a BMW, or other, specialist that might be able to assist with tracing an intermittent water leak on a 10 year old X3. The dealers can't find it.

Bonus if it is in the Randburg or Fourways direction?

Iā€™m moving out and trying out lease logistics.

Iā€™m in a thought process and need help. Iā€™m planning on moving out of my communal house share (too much drama) and move out alone by Jan 2025. However my lease here says I need 20 days notice (on the 1st) and the place Iā€™m considering is available 1st of December.

So that means I will still need to pay rent for December of my current place. But then will it work for me to secure the future place with a deposit in December and only move in and pay in January, or will I be forced to pay for deposit and rent even if Iā€™m not yet moved in there?

Iā€™m just an overthinker trying to get ahead of the money issuesšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.

Best tattoo artists

Which studio or artist would you recommend in Joburg?

Many years ago I went to Kevin Custom Tattoos and they assigned some noob to do my tattoo and it came out nothing like I expected, over saturated and over worked and was not happy.

I have also seen some horrible unsanitary places in reputable areas doing terrible work.

Sorry but it's going to be on my body forever I want an artist of choice, and not be assigned a trainee or a backyard tattooist. I want someone who takes pride in their pieces.

I know availability is an issue but I'll book pay deposit and wait.

Urologist in Joburg

Has anyone gone to a urologist in Joburg/Midrand/Centurion/Pretoria?

Thinking about getting a vasectomy and would like for Discovery to cover most if not all of the cost. The medical aid issue is secondary.

Any insights on finding a good specialist would be appreciated.
