About
Hi,
I have been back in France since 2007. I was previously based in South Africa (yes yes...where the 2010 word cup took place). I stayed there for 4 years and would still be there if the violence had not convinced me to return.
Today, I have difficulty getting used to life in France. My wife even less (She is South African). He misses the more Anglo-Saxon culture.
So we considered going elsewhere. First choice, Australia. It's beautiful, quiet and the weather is nice but... I'm probably too old. I can't get enough points despite having a sought-after job (Microsoft Systems Engineer).
We had already eliminated Europe....without Australia....only North America remained...and of course Quebec.
If this province was not our first choice, it is true, mainly because of the climate.
But hey, in the end...it might still be Joburg!
Be careful though...the grass is never greener elsewhere...just a different green
Interests: lecture, balade avec mon chien, web,
