Thanks Armand. I have in South Africa for 18 months now. It is a beautiful country. Life is good if you have a steady income. Accomodation is very expensive, Study/Tuition is expensive. Food/groceries is affordable. There is plenty of purchasing capacity among people, so any business goes well. Jobs are scarce for non South African residents. It is very important to learn at least one of their local languages, especially Isizulu or Xhosa, because no matter where you you are from, they will always speak to you in their language, especially if you are black.
