Lockdown non-complying motorists hit hard at N2 roadblock near Berlin in the Eastern Cape

Authorities have been consistent, enforcing compliance to Covid-19 lockdown by maintaining high visibility roadblock on the N2 near Berlin since the start of the national lockdown. During the operation officers and officials from the SAPS, SANDF, Provincial Traffic Department and Immigration were deployed.
During the roadblock on the N2 between Berlin and East London, 1420 vehicles were stopped and checked for compliance with the Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Five summons were issued to motorists for non-compliance to the value of R16 000.
Authorities further issued 2 traffic fines to the value of R2000 for driving a motor vehicle without a driver’s licence and failure to produce a driver's license.
The roadblocks are aimed at enforcing the national lockdown regulations and putting safety of our people first before anything. Police further urge the public to adhere to the call to comply with lockdown regulations.

utting the Grand in Oman's Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque

PUTTING THE GRAND IN OMAN'S SULTAN QABOOS GRAND MOSQUE

We used to have the world's largest carpet, but then the Emiratis came when they were building the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, measured ours, and now they have the title. We also used to have the world's largest chandelier, but then the Qataris came, measured ours, and stole that from us too.

The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque may have to settle for second when it comes to carpets and chandeliers, but it certainly doesn't make the place any less stunning. Located along a stretch of the Sultan Qaboos Highway (a lot of stuff is named for His Majesty in this town), the mosque is Muscat's premiere tourist attraction. It's also the only mosque in Oman that allows non-Muslims to visit.

One of the main attractions here is the former Guinness world record holder of Largest Chandelier in the World - the 14 metre, 8 and 1/2 ton behemoth that dangles from the centre of the men's prayer hall.With more than 600,000 STRASS Swarovski crystals (it's the finest crystal on the planet), over a thousand halogen bulbs, and 24 karat gold plating on the metal bits, the chandelier took 4 years to complete.Sixteen smaller chandeliers throughout the men's prayer hall complement the main attraction.

The carpet here is also an achievement in itself. It took 600 Iranian women 4 years to make, and is still the second largest hand-woven rug in the world. Those pesky Emiratis stole that crown too, so please do drop by and bid the ladies your condolences if you're ever backpacking Iran.

Macau: Is it Just for Gamblers?

MACAU: IS IT JUST FOR GAMBLERS?

I wasn't sure what I would find in Macau. This former Portuguese colony recently passed Las Vegas as the new gambling capital of the world and I was half expecting to be surrounded by casinos and nothing else. However, while the abundance of casinos may be true of the Cotai Strip, I found that there was still plenty of culture, local cuisine, and attractions to enjoy in the historic centre.

Macau is a foodie paradise and it is fair to say that I spent my entire first day trying every local dish I came across. One of my favourite meals was the Pork Chop Bun, or Piggy Bun. I found a local shop down a quiet back street near Senado Square serving these, and it was perhaps the best thing I ate during my entire time in Macau! The bun was soft and fresh out of the oven, while the pork was juicy, tender, and lightly salted to perfection. I still think of this meal today.

I also got to try some Macanese egg tarts, which I would later learn vary greatly from those I tasted during my food tour in Hong Kong. Apparently the egg tarts in Macau were inspired by the Portuguese recipe that emerged in Belem, while those found in Hong Kong are an adaptation of the English custard tart. Who knew?
