part two of a strange man in a strange land

Yes i suppose we knew it would be different.. but the things that are different are not so strange .. maybe moving to another country the biggest stress at this stage is starting a new job and figuring out where everythign is ...

But for once i must admit and say i work for a multinational company who embracess technologies.. sitting here on this little rock in the middle of the ocean under a hail of streaky white clouds all my meetings are either via arkinfo which I know is very old wroldish .. but the the bulk are all in video conference mode .. so no sleeping and ass scratching through the meetings whilst sleeping on teleconferences .. Aesh wickedly wierd stuffs ...

LOL

yes it is a strange world .. other than that anita is makign good headway in finding the NZ moot, apparently the Chinese got there before the caucasians .. but hey wTF .. we will go there then..

and yes things are expensive here .. but after a little thought .. yes we should have thought about it a little more .. this is one damn isolated palce ..

:-)

no seriously it will take us a while to work out the anomolies in society here .. chicken more expensive than beef .. fish cheaper than all of them .. strange .. we ate huge pieces of sole to repair our sole last night and that was cheaper than chikin or chook stew ... insane ..

But the Coffee.. now there is something to behold .. in your life you ahve never seen so many coffee shops .. every corner and building is littered with them .. and awesome coffee is had by all and sundry ...

yummeeee ..

amazing things ..

so now i stand fishing rod in hand, no way to get anywhere yet, but i am ready..
and yes .. i decided i might just buy a hi-ace .. they called something else here ... practical and it will remind me of home ... good and bad times :-)
second hand cars are insanely cheap .. u can pick up a very fucntional car, albeit high km's for between 7- 25k ZAR ... and there are some awesome cars in the 7kZAR bracket .. and they do annual RWC's or actually for older cars bi-annual RWC's so they seem safe-ish ..

now just to see where we will stay .. part 2 of the muli-numerous adventure ..


some more on bio-security down the line ..

cites and parrot feathers .... Bla Bla ...
