Destinations such as Monaco, Mumbai, Rome, Manila, Maputo, Accra, Beijing and Istanbul are some of the destinations that have grabbed my attention, well just by seeing them on the telly or reading on them in printed publications.
The mentioned destinations are some which I
found myself aspiring to visit and for some odd stupid reason I happen to have
affection for. Travelling to such places where an individual can create
memories costs an arm and a leg... but the one destination that in recent times
has managed to grab much of my attention believe or not, it’s San Francisco in
the United States. Wherever You are in this globe reading this, you probably asking
yourself why San Francisco of all places
on planet Earth. Well the simple answer is... Silicon Valley!!
Silicon Valley, a region in San Francisco
is home to many of the world’s largest technology corporations and small
technology innovative start-ups. Despite the development of other high-tech
sector economic centres throughout the US and the world, Silicon Valley
continues to be the leading hub for high-tech innovation. The place reeks of
technological riches. If you’re a sucker for technology and gadgets like me and
want to be close to the “techno Village” join me on an impossible mission to
start a camp site a kilometre away.
Technology corporations such as Adobe
Systems, Apple Inc, Cisco Systems, eBay, Facebook, Google, Yahoo!, and Hewlett-
Packard to mention a couple are some of the giant techno corporations which
have contributed to making Silicon Valley a destination for technology
innovation. These giant corporations have through their creativity and
developments turned the world into one technology crazy space.
Like the late legendary South African
artist Brenda Fassie once sang “Soon and very Soon we are going to see the
king”... not known how soon I will embark on my journey to San Francisco, but
soon and very soon I shall land the boat my good pal Kobus Van Niekerk
inherited from his pipe smoking oupa meneer Van Niekerk.
