Vibrant life in South Africa as it hosts the FIFA 2010 World Cup

Johannesburg has become a cosmopolitan city. For the next month, at least, it is the centre of the world and the focus of every news bulletin in the world. Seen here are scenes from the popular Melrose Arch. The restaurants and bars are thriving as soccer fans from every country on earth mill around, relax for a drink or a meal and watch the action on the giant screens. 

The welcome they receive is warm and friendly. These restaurants offer good food in great surroundings at reasonable prices. Contrary to expectations, the prices have not been inflated for the World Cup.
