Melville
This trendy suburb is a hive of activity on any given night of
the week; it is the place to go out and carouse in Johannesburg,
offering anything from hip and upmarket to just plain odd coffee
shops, bars and dance venues throng the streets. The bohemian
Seventh Street is a great place to start with its collection of
book and antique shops, cafes, and other interesting storefronts.
Partygoers barhop into the small hours, but tourists should refrain
from walking around too much, and be aware of pickpockets as crime
has risen in the area in the last few years.

Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
