JacoE Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 My brother made the right choice then, marrying a Norwegian girl and settling there. I still prefer Australia though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annette Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 What's truly sad and very very shocking, is that South Africa's life expectancy is a mere 47! Swaziland is an absolutely unacceptable 31 ...Good for Australia , although I'm struggling to understand how 113.2% of the youth can be enrolled in primary, secondary and tertiary education (highest in the world) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
