So, I sat for a while trying to figure out what on EARTH I was going to offer to this forum, as this little town of Welkom in South Africa is hardly classified as "exotic"!!
Then I realised that, in a sense, it is because the whole town is peppered with gold mines all over the place.  It has to be the weirdest town to live in, I have to admit.
I've been here for 6 months now and I'm still getting used to it!!
So, here is a picture of a gold mine. 
We actually climbed up an old mine dump yesterday and I took quite a few photos. 
When my "spider" series is done, I'll be uploading some in my gallery :-)

Hope this is "exotic" enough!!
