Caroline Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) Hi EverybodyWe are currently still in SA but will be moving to Australia January 2007 with our 3 children. I have taken an interest in 'SA expat forums' because I want to find out as much as possible about the life that we are heading towards and also I love meeting people. I am a student of International Relations at the University of Southern Queensland and I work for my husband, Peter. We are in the process of 'expanding' the business www.businesswarriers.co.za to Australia. (I am not too sure how I can introduce myself 'honestly' without being accused of soliciting so I hope this is OK?).I have previously only joined one 'open' forum and promised myself that I would never do that again (it gets a little strange sometimes ), but SAAustralia seems to be more in control of what is going on so I am going to take a chance again . Congratulations to all of you for taking the initiative on getting this forum up and running so quickly-well done! I have been 'watching' the last couple of days and it was actually Harry's picture of Deep Cove that 'triggered' me to introduce myself in the foyer. I showed it to hubby and he responded by opening his laptop and showing me his own picture of Deep Cove-he was there a couple of years back- I just 'loved' that-had to share that with you !Well, I'm off now, will be back to 'chit chat' later, I do talk a lot. Will probably have to 'fetch' Blondi soon to join me there I was on another forum with the user name 'Umhlanga'. I won't use that name here because this is how I got it:.....I thought I was filling in the 'area' name so I put Umhlanga (wasn't wearing my glasses ). I'll just stick to my real name-just easier that way.Chat laterCaroline Carruthers Edited February 12, 2006 by Hendie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adele Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Caroline,Being an old user of SACanada, I found using my first name a bit nerve wrecking the first few weeks waiting for the deluge of spam. But, I liked the controls to set up for the protection of members, before there was any registering and hoped that it was a good thing to use my name. I have found after 3 years it was just a fine thing to do!And as for "Umhlanga', I miss that warm weather, and that beautiful coastline of white sand. We have only rocks in Canada, as far as I have found, even in wonderful Deep Cove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
