There are many facets of expatriate life that come as a total surprise. It is easy for outsiders to get the wrong idea about expatriate life: a perception that combines romanticism and leisure, adventure and pleasure, a better life, a hope, a future. It is seen as a privileged lifestyle and envied by those who stay behind. These qualities may, in some way or another, be present in the expatriate lifestyle, but with them also come the sacrifices, discipline, energy, focus, determination, self-discipline and connectedness that enable you to keep yourself together.

Eish! You guys should come back to South Africa! We have lots and lots of rain for you. Looks like you can do with a bit of our cooler weather... btw, nice, nice site - leka! :-)
Oh dear!!!! it is going to be a long summer for some!!!!!! It does not really get to "winter" in Mauritius! Winter is supposed to be COLD and that is something that I have not yet experienced in the 2 years that I have been on the island.
It feels like summer was much cooler this year than the last...or maybe I have become accustomed to the heat by now ;) winter is 3 months away, I am actually looking forward to it!
