I was in the Johannesburg city centre last week, and when I found parking (finally!) it was in a parking garage opposite the Carlton Centre and Hotel. So I took a picture: here it is, tallest skyscraper in South Africa, at 50 floors.

In the parking area, I went down the same elevator that had given me several years of elevator phobia when I was 6 or 7. I'd been there with my mom and siblings, the elevator had opened, I had enthusiastically dashed in before the others, and the doors had closed, and the elevator left with me on my own (and I was terrified and in tears). In the basement, a kindly security guard had taken me back up, floor by floor, until we found my mom. I was too terrified to go in elevators for several years after that though...
