  • I left the USA again and moved to Johannesburg, South Africa. Rainbow Nation. This is the first country I will explore while on this beautiful continent. I am using this trip to learn the truth about Africa and un-learn everything I was told about Africa. Beautiful people & beautiful culture

    If you are really relocating to South Africa, from the US, you will definitely enjoy it. Financially considering the exchange rate, your integration into jour economy will be the smoothest. As Rand is way lower than the USD, (which makes no sense).. South Africa has its own fair share of socio economic and political challenges but you will definitely blend in so well. You will take up residence in an up market safe gated are and sometimes you will drive to the townships and witness the economic disparities between the poor and the rich. Generally, this is the best place to be in Africa. Welcome

I'm Irish on both sides of my family (down to the Irish counties each family originated from) yet if I visit Ireland or even move there it would be silly to expect Irish people to see me as anything other than "American"...and that would be the case no matter how long I stay or how many friends are made. If anyone wants to move to Africa, thats fine and great...just go in with realistic expectations, or better yet, none at all and let the locals show you their world.

I heard one black woman say she will not ever feel like an American but she was born here! Africa is not your home if you weren’t born there but hey not all of Africa is as prosperous as where you were! I’m happy that you got to visit but my wife would go to the wildlife preserves if she could go to Africa and yes the people of Africa seem happier and friendlier, especially the children who have a chance to get an education ! Ignorance of geography and history and even correct English have become practically non - existent for ALL children in the communist controlled schools in the USA…….that’s why hypocritical dept. of education is against alternative schools and want controlled education but they send their kids to exclusive ,expensive private schools……think about it.

    Dude I don't know what you been told about South Africa. But I truly hope you get to experience the awesome adventure that we call home. Our different cultures is what makes South Africa so awesome. Yeah we have trouble sometimes but, we turn our troubles to jokes. Our jokes to memories and our memories to love. Much love to all my fellow South Africans ♥️

      So well put.🙌 Sometimes South Africans find themselves in a laugh or cry situation (like with Eskom's loadshedding) and we usually revert to laughing. For example: What does the "E" in South Africa stand for? (There is no E in South Africa.)

    South Africans are without doubt some of the friendliest, most helpful people in the world. People just open up and start up conversations and will even be open to inviting you home for a braai (barbecue) or to some interesting thing they have planned as a group - hiking, cycling, picnicking or just getting together for brunch or lunch out somewhere with delicious, well-priced, plentiful food.
    Hotels, restaurants, food and wines are world class
    Nothing, nothing, nothing beats taking a drive through a game reserve or other fun adventure activities - bunging jumping, hot air ballooning, ziplining.... So many to choose from

      That is definitely incorrect! South Africans are among the most arrogant, racist and competitive people in the world - own up! 👎 Have you heard of Fiji, New Zealand, Tonga, Australia? In hospitality, food, inclusion, friendliness, respect for family, visitors and animals - World's Best - clean beaches, safety, air quality, nature care, fresh foods! 👍
