Really glad to hear it. The attitude about women and the racial prejudices of this family - to blacks and gays - set off alarm bells for me. My daughter grew up studying theater and many of her friends are gay to one degree or another. She had a hard time biting her toungue while listening to how they should all be lined up and shot shot.

Some day we'll make it back - to visit if not to live. I loved Capetown and Franchuck (?), not so much Parys. I'll check out the areas Daxk suggested. Despit all, its a gorgeous country.

If what's why I pulled out? Because of their attitude towards women, gays and blacks? Those are rather huge when assessing quality of life, but that is not why we pulled out. We pulled out because promises made were broken and the situation we were originally going into became something very different. I just meant that in the long run it would be difficult to form a true bond and lifetime partnership with people who have such different fundamental philosophies and I know better to think that I can judge or change anyone.

No hope without a sense of humor! And I have no doubt things happen for a reason, although I can't imagine what that might be.

aaaah ok, seeker,your visits have'nt inured you to the direct leg pulling SA's love to do.
What I meant was apart from the crime rate, the land expropriation bill, the ineptitude of most Government Departments, that your about to be partner was licking his lips at the windfall heading his way, you might have been swayed by a homophobic racist who probably panelbeats his wife after a few brandies.
