Hi Brooks,

Thank you for you response. How long have you been in kenya and how does the culture differ to South Africa? What have been the greatest challenges and what the greatest pleasures?

Thank you for your time.

Hi - I have been living in Nairobi for 18 months and have enjoyed it. There are many challenges but they can be overcome - look at what is motivating you and what will make you happy.

Regards,
Philip Grobler.

Hello Neil, yes there are quite a few South Africans living in Nairobi.

I am a (home executive) South African housewife living in Mombasa.

Take care, regards, Thurl
