Life in Cayman is generally hot... and it’s hot all year round which is pretty cool! We get to go to the beach and go boating on most weekends as well as scuba diving almost any time of the year. Conditions here are always good! And with the USA/South America being so close, it’s also pretty easy to travel that that part of the world.There is a fairly large group of Saffas in Cayman, which means there’s alw ...
My life consists of constant noise no matter what the time of day or night Р hooting, building, firecrackers, street dogs and cows! And then the smells! The most popular are curry, rotting veggies and cow patties... your morning jog is never fast enough! Regardless, I jog everyday and never get tired as there is so much to see and most things you need to see for yourself to believe! Just to mention a few Р ...
Ek’s ‘n groot aanhanger van The Secret Millionaire. Hierin besoek suksesvolle entrepreneurs ‘n minder gegoede buurt en gee voor asof hulle ‘n dokumentêr oor liefdadigheidswerk verfilm. ‘n Week later bieg hulle dat hulle eintlik rol in die geld, en dan deel hulle vet tjeks uit vir mense wat hulle beïndruk het. Hier begin almal gewoonlik grens: die miljoenêr, die oorblufte ontvanger van sy barmhartigheid, en ...

On the 9th of May 2009, Jacob Zuma was sworn in as South African president.
He took the oath in front of 5,000 invited guests and crowds of supporters who had gathered at the Union Buildings in Pretoria for the ceremony.
In his speech, Mr Zuma praised his predecessors and said he would follow the policies of reconciliation between the races that Nelson Mandela had pursued.
This was a "moment of renewal", ...
Life in the US is amazing.
Most people who think of the US have 3 words that pop into their minds; McDonalds, wealth and war, but America is so much more than that. My favourite part of the US is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For those of you who are unfamiliar with American history, that is where it all started. It is a very romantic city with oak lined streets, fantastic Art Museums, horse-drawn carriages ...
I live in a small city, where English is not too common on the streets. During the week I am an English second language teacher, I teach at 3 public schools, an all girls middle school, where I teach three days a week, an all boys middle school, and an elementary school. I have several Korean co-teachers who assist me during class, their English ability ranges from poor to fluent. The student’s English abil ...
Ever since I saw the movie Cool Runnings I fell in love with Jamaica and its people. It was one of my dreams to go there someday. So one day my dad came home and told us that we are going to Jamaica, Grand Bahia Principe hotel. We were all so excited!When we got there I was still wondering if it was not just a dream. It was 32 degrees, all the people want to help you and are so friendly. Every time you ask ...
Verbeel jou, jou studente dae van vooraf, net op ‘n eiland met ongelooflik baie sonskyn, baie meer geld en geen studies nie, dan is dit amper soos in Bermuda. Maar nog nie heeltemal nie, dit is eindelik nog 100 keer beter. Ek is alreeds 16 maande op die eiland en werk by die grootste bank op die eiland (ja, hier is meer as een!) Die eerste paar maande was maar erg, maar dit is seker maar op enige plek so a ...
What can I say, we're (my husband, Matthew and I) are happy here. Now, a little piece of my heart (actually a huge chunk) will always belong to my country of birth, but for now I have a young son to consider and so here we find ourselves. After living in the UK for 11 years, we spent a year travelling around OZ, NZ and the USA in a bid to establish which of the 3 we were best suited to and it must be said, ...
I have been living in Dubai for a short time now and I must admit that I was a little bit sceptic before my plane touched down on the tarmac at Dubai International Airport. I found myself wondering how I would adapt to the heat, the local laws and whether there would be a language barrier to overcome.
Little by little I started experiencing the Dubai lifestyle and now it certainly feels like a second home. ...
Back in South Africa after living and working in Japan.
Japan Redux: Part I
I am now 3 months into my South Africa decompression after returning from the supreme inaka that is Northern Hokkaido, and what do I have to say?I’ve finally begun to remind myself that while Japan was indeed incredibly awesome and fantastic blah blah fishpaste, there was always a downside, be it the incredible solitude, the job o ...
I arrived here in 1994 as an 11 year old and have now spent the majority of my life in this country. With all my family and some friends still in SA I have returned twice and always look forward to going back for holidays.
Whilst I have been in New Zealand 15 years I still don’t consider myself to be a full New Zealander as my South African upbringing will forever make up a big part of who I am. I do how ...
It was with great eagerness that I set off on a rather rainy Wimbledon Monday to go interview “the next best thing” musically coming out of South Africa – Josie Field. Not long into our very relaxed interview at the Walkabout in Wimbledon I realise how much passion she has for what she does, yet there’s a certain humbleness about all the hype that her “rich sounds” are creating. I really enjoyed interviewi ...
