Carolina is... quiet, for the most part, especially in the country. It's pretty warm for the US, but not compared to South Africa, I guess. A lot of football fanatics here (the American kind, we call the other soccer ha ha). Thanks for welcoming me to the group! :)
*facepalm* I can't believe I haven't posted here yet!I'm born and bred in Port Shepstone (KZN South Coast), lived in Cape Town for about six years while I was at 'varsity and now I'm back in Port Shepstone.
Born in Joburg, eventually convinced parentals to send me to boarding school when I was 13. Spent four years in Bloemfontein. Came to Port Elizabeth to study in 1996 and have never left! Love the Friendly City...
Born in the Friendly City :-) moved to Cape Town, then moved to a very small town in the Free State and finally settled down in Pretoria.
Grew up in JHB but moved to Cape Town for university. I love this city so much that I am turning into a career student.
Living in Joburg but lived in Secunda, Welkom, Trichardt the list is long. I think my parents had some gypsy blood in them.
I'm from Alberton in Gangster's Paradise...aka Joburg.
Born in Scottburgh, KZN. Studied in Durban. Been living in the Kruger National Park since 1992 (except for a short stint of 2.5 yrs in Port Shepstone somewhere in the middle of the last 21 years)
You really shouldn't! LOL It is one of the quietest, slowest places in the country.
We have a total of 2 night clubs (which are populated by 16 year olds) and a bunch of bars that are populated by pervy old men. I own more books then the libraries here do.
At least I get to wake up and look at the ocean everyday.
My bedroom door opens up onto a veranda that has a panoramic view of the ocean. It is breathtaking and worth all the bad in the world. It is one of the most inspiring views especially in a storm where the lightning strikes over the ocean.
Oh it's just as beautiful there!You know as beautiful as it is - I wouldn't mind living in an area that is a little more populated and not so tourist driven. It's tough to get by here if you run your own business. It gets crazy quiet when all you zany tourists aren't here clogging up our roads.
I live on the border of Edenvale & Bedfordview (where all the gangsters hang out lately it seems) Lol
@ Angelique! LOL - Sounds like the town I grew up in!
Queenstown's also one of those - if you blink you'll miss it places!
I'm currently in the Blouberg area.
Due to all the roadworks traffic currently SUCKS!
Though I guess its still not as bad as JHB traffic!
I must admit I'm more of a mountain person myself.
THough - I guess if I could live ON a mountain with an ocean view - that would be pretty damn awesome!! :P
