Hive Meet Up

in #hive-1470103 years ago

Haven been on Hive for four years, I have never met any Hive community member in person, I sure can't refer to the ones I onboarded as meeting. I have always want to have a feel of making friends here on Hive and then meet in person.
Myself and @rynow met on Hive, he resides in Pretoria +- 40km away from me in Johannesburg. We have been keen on meeting a while back but delays was from my side and reason which I explained to him today with his lovely wife @stardust

Meet up for breakfast was what we agreed on, impressively we were both punctual, I arrived 40mins earlier and they arrived about 25mins earlier, I love it when people keep to time lol.

We didn't beat around the bush much in deciding which restaurant to have breakfast as there were over ten restaurant to choose it can become tough in deciding like kids in candy shop 😃

We opted for Wimpy, breakfast is always nice at Wimpy lol, we all opted for cappuccino and before that arrived conversations were on going, quite a lovely morning we had I must say.

I love my avocados, I can live on them without complaining, so my breakfast entailed toast, avocados, eggs 😋 I dived in to devour before I quickly remember I need to have my breakfast photographed.

Since I arrived earlier I had pictures taken, we met in Mall of Africa by the way, it is the third biggest mall in Africa which is more or less midway point for us to meet.

Quite a big mall, I am yet to walk through the entire mall and I have been there on five or more occasions.

Shops normally open around 09:00 in malls, so most were still closed but getting ready to open when I arrived.

@rynow and @stardust are really beautiful people I must say, time went by so quick, I really enjoyed breakfast with them. I honestly will do it again whenever we all have the chance, rynow interestingly has been on the chain since the days of Steem and even experienced Steem at $8, so he is one for the long term, I notice form his posts he likes cars, it was confirmed he's got love for cars and helps in fixing his son's car...
stardust an educator I could see the passion in her eyes when she spoke about the disable students she teaches, very beautiful to be impacting hope into the lives of disable ones.

Hive brings us together in ways unimagined!

It was really great meeting you, my wife and I really enjoyed the morning spent with you!!

Great one bro! Hive connects...I love that

Hive truly does and it is having a good impact on our lives.

This meeting is really cool. I am incredibly happy for you. Hive connects everyone. I love this power of Hive, everyone should do these kinds of activities, especially me.

Thanks man, you should do it with people not too far from you quite enjoyable connecting with Hivers offline

Oh wow, that was quite wonderful that hive is bringing people together. Meeting in person is great compared to chatting on here, big shout out to rynow and stardust. The pictures from the mall looking amazing, especially that Africa artwork and the twisted building. Thanks for sharing bro and keep enjoying the weekend :}

It was a great experience yesterday to go have breakfast with fellow Hivers I have known for years online. Mall of Africa is really big and beautiful it is an amazing site over there. Thanks bro have a blessed Sunday

i hope the pizza is sufficient for you

Let me not be greedy to ask for more, I think it is enough thank you 😃

Awesome that you managed to meet up I have never seen the Mall up there don't like the city life LOL.

Last time I was flabbergasted at how Pretoria and Johannesburg have become one sprawling city, growing up was veld between the two cities!

Well as you know our flooding here has now placed Durban on the back burner once again, intermittent internet, no water, helping people wherever possible the devastation is immense, I see you being here sooner than you thought.

@tipu curate 2

Lol, you should whenever you come to Joburg, we could all meet there and do a Hive thing! 😃

Crazy how developments is on going you will hardly find space as there are complexes build or offices in between and development continues...

Shame I can imagine the impact the flooding have caused, only got to know about it from you though bad habit I rarely listen to news lately or put on the TV.

Yes we were supposed to have been over there working on the project but some unknown delays am not gettin an answer to, no stress am using the time wisely on Hive.

I do appreciate the tip Joan

My sister tries to get me up to Jo'burg often enough, simply cannot bring myself to even consider it!

Wall to wall housing, all those complexes and malls for Africa sure there is one on every other corner, no sweet memories up there will remain so.

Durban will take some time to recover after this flood, you will most probably be down in winter to continue work here, once the mud has been cleared. Living with no water 2 days directly after flood, now another 3 days, some places no water at all, lots of infrastructure washed away!

Keep busy and keep smiling, so good to see you met Hiver's inland enjoying a hearty breakfast together.
