Irene Village Mall - where spending meets art nouveau (take a look at the cow in the parking lot)... [Pic]

It was great to meet Aiden! He is a remarkable guy who is doing incredible work in his consultancy. In essence his consultancy helps companies (large, like Anglo American, and smaller companies) to recognise, diagnose, and deal with complex problems (whether these are corporate problems, or problems within that industry. Some even come from wider society and the market place).
We met half way between our places of work (he is from JHB and I'm from Pretoria). So we had coffee at the new (and IMPRESSIVE Irene Village Mall).
As I drove into the parking lot I knew this was going to be a different mall... Just in front of my car was a 2 storey tall Cow (yes, it was certainly a cow - it has udders), sitting in a pond!
In the main square there is another cow (with just its feet and udders) coming out of the ground!
The time spent with Aiden was fantastic - thanks for the thought provoking and inspirational conversation Aiden. I look forward to meeting him again. And, the Irene Country Mall is wonderful! I look forward to going there again!

Matt and Nathan love playing in the water (close to the upside-down cow) while Nats and I savor a cup of coffee, a piece of cake and each other's company.
