But, I don't think I could deal with the cultural void in the long run. That's why I got as far away as humanly possible.A Free Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038930031019179647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-49594384926578766422010-02-08T04:51:31.894-05:002010-02-08T04:51:31.894-05:00I have lived in Cape Town my entire life.

I love that I'm surrounded on 3 sides my the ocean. I love that I can look outside my bedroom window and see the mountain. I love the weather (sometimes). I love that there's always something to do.

We're paying a price for child care that would anger most suburban soccer moms and we have free babysitting from multiple sources. I think my 15-year mortgage is less than your rent. Plus, I haven't done much to prepare for my retirement other than show up for work in a government job, so I don't want to do anything stupid and loseJacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768654376657640904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-55443122377428546502010-02-05T14:16:05.730-05:002010-02-05T14:16:05.730-05:00Sounds like you've thought about the next move...Sounds like you've thought about the next move. Before I read your comments above, my own comment was going to be one word: Move. You like being from there, and you've already got that covered; they can't take that away from you. So get on with it (like I'm one to talk.)<br /><br />That said, there's a lot to be said for water quality.Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980072484914437668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-15981637061712413472010-02-05T14:08:58.642-05:002010-02-05T14:08:58.642-05:00Hank: I'm considering it next November.
