Paul, I cannot believe you're moving to Ireland from Cape Town while I've just moved from there to here (well, I'm from Ireland but realistically I moved from Ireland to Scotland to England to here!).

I was looking forward to maybe meeting up sometime, how long are you away for?

as a person who once lived where you are now and now lives where you were, i find it very interesting. it seems odd to me, here, for very much the opposite reason.

i've been in cape town for nearly 12 months now and i have NOT YET spoke to a black person who is not mowing the lawn, doing the washing, cleaning the street, or begging for money. i find it odd, very odd. at home, not only would the bus drivers, or the tellers in the supermarkets, be white or black or asian... or whatever, but they are also just people. people you talk to at their work, you freely chit-chat with them, you maybe see them in the same pub at the weekend, they really are just everyday people and typically they deserve and get the same respect as everyone else.

many things struck me as odd when i moved here, but one that sticks with me are the petrol attendents. not only are petrol attendents in ireland and the uk VERY rare, but the idea of asking one of them to check your tyres, your oil, your water and wash your windscreen would be considered ridiculous. just try that in ireland, haha, the t'ought of it! rightly so, they'd tell you to f'off and check your own bloody tyres! ;)

maybe a shame to admit it at my age, but that brought a tear to my eye. would love to have been there... once again.
