South Africa: Considering a job opportunity in Joburg:
Hi Hans,
I was born and bred in South Africa and have lived there all my life (I'm now 61). It is a very beautiful country and I have a lot of pleasurable memories of my country of birth and, in a way, sorry to see what is / has become of it.
However, I now live in Cyprus - (since Oct 2010) -the reasons for this are too great to list in this forum.
If you contact me on my email graham410@hotmail.co.za
I shall gladly give you something to think about (particulary Johannesburg and the education system).
I shall be returning to SA on business for 3x weeks during March, so I will be able to give you a current update on affairs over there.
Regards,
Graham
Cyprus: Seriously considering moving to Cyprus for an extended time:
Hi Brian, I'm New to this site as I am to Cyprus and I have just spent a half an hour reading all your previous bloggs regarding your forth-coming move. I am a retired South African and I have been living in Paphos since October 2010 and up to now I have been as happy as a 'pig in sh..t' and found this place suits my every need. The people are very friendly indeed and as previously mentioned by others, there is a very large English contingient living here. With regards to crime, I think that, as in any place in the world, you will find trouble if you go looking for it ! I have found that the cost of living is no higher than where I come from, but then again, as everywhere, eating out is very expensive. I could go on forever, but I chose to live here in Paphos (Peyia to be exact) and 'my home is where my heart is'. Good luck with your move and I shall be more than glad to 'show you the initial ropes'. Feel free to contact me on email - graham410@hotmail.co.za
Regards,
Graham Marshall
