We Blog the World Takes on South Africa
Starting on November 29 our friend Renee Blodgett, along with a handful of other bloggers from around the world, embarked on an exciting adventure—a 9-day tour in South Africa, from the North to South and back again, exploring South African innovation.
South Africa’s International Marketing Council has sponsored Renee, along with eight other American bloggers, a French blogger and 4 South African bloggers, to visit South Africa. They will be blogging about their trip at We Blog the World, a blog “dedicated to global storytelling from multi-faceted views.” One of the goals of this trip is to improve communication between different cultures, as well as to see some of South Africa’s innovative technology and to simply open up the floor for new and interesting conversations amongst the bloggers, and on the Web.
The group of bloggers arrived in Johannesburg on the 29th and kicked things off the next day. Over the course of their trip they will go on all sorts of cool adventures—a helicopter ride to see De Beers’ state-of-the-art mining ship, a 4km trip into the heart of the world’s deepest mine, an inside look into World Cup 2010 in Soccer City, hikes, wine tastings and more, all the while writing about their experience together.
The bloggers involved include Renee, Zadi Diaz, Mona Gable, Ray Lewis, John Gartner, Chris Morrison, David Sasaki, Eliane Fioret, Graeme Wood, Simon Barber, Nick Haralambous and Ndumiso Ngcobo. From the looks of their blog posts, they are having a blast so far and I can’t wait to read about the rest of their exciting adventures.

I love global storytelling. Nothing beats virtual globe trotting except globe trotting itself.
Very true
I love South Africa as I was born there, now living in Vancouver Canada. This must have been a dream trip blogging in SA.

Pretty impressive article. I just came across your site and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your opinions. Any way I’ll be coming back and I hope you post again soon.
When I arrived to this post I can only see half of it, is this my on-line browser or the internet website? Should I restart?
Thanks I got your weblink. Does anyone by chance have a backup mirror internet site or link to a different source? The web link surely does not seem to work for me.

Funny, I had been discussing this factor with my older sister the other day, now I will have one particular more argument in my hand when it’ll come to confrontation once once more….
