Expats-how are you finding life in Cape Town?
Hi there
I am a UK based 35 year old Mum of 2 who is considering relocating to Cape Town with my S.A'n partner (we have been together 18 months an have 3 children between us).
I have visited Cape Town last year and had mixed feelings about the place (mainly as my partner told me to feel afraid as then I will be "on guard"!) Having researched and researched this place (the good and the bad!) I am seeking more personal experiences from Expats who have moved to South Africa (though all points of view welcomed I am particularly keen to hear from thos who have emigrated from the UK).
Please give me your thoughts/experiences/tips and any pointers on how to make friend's upon arrival (hopefully relocating within the next 12 months!)
Many MANY thanks for giving of you time :-)

Re: Expats-how are you finding life in Cape Town?
Hi there,
I am a British mum of one and also looking to relocate to Cape Town with my husband (British) in the next 6 months. I would also be very interested in hearing expat's experiences regarding what Cape Town is like for families and how easy it would be to make friends there.
The South Africans we know in Cape Town say it's very easy to make friends although it would be useful to know what groups/socities exist to meet up with other expats.
Sorry I haven't been able to respond to your question directly, but it seems we are in a similar situation.
Good luck with your move. Thanks to anyone with good advice on the above.
