Hi there, I'm freshly listed here, currently expat in Stellenbosch, South Africa, next year in Dublin, Ireland.
My fiancee and I will be moving there after our wedding in January 2006.

A lil' bit about me:
I was born in Cape Town, moved to Germany at the age of 9 and returned to SA 16 years later to finish my studies.

Welcome Kazana!

You should add your blog address in your profile > personal, and locate yourself on the user map

Is your fiancee South African?

I wish you a fantastic wedding!

Take care,

Julien

Our favourite question here: why did you decide to move to another country?

Thanks a lot for the map it's fantastic to see a first pointer in South Africa

yeah, i've noticed i'm the first south african pointer. unfortunately the pointer will change next month, when i move to ireland. but no worries, the south african blogosphere should be starting up soon (they seem to lagg behind by 3-4 years by default)...

We've got another member in South Africa (he's French) but he didn't locate himself on the user map...

When are you getting married Kazana? Will you talk about South African weddings on your blog? I know I am curious
