Maybe Johannesburg?

Sam & I have decided that if Sam is offered a job in Johannesburg (locals call it Jo'burg) that we will accept.

We know it has a reputation for being a crime haven and dangerous but after doing alot of research, I have found that we should be fine. Apparently the last few years have produced alot of change on the South African city and that while we still need to be careful and continuously aware of our surrounds - the crime is generally among the "rattier suburbs".

While initially hesitant about the move - the more research the better I felt about the idea of living in Jo'burg. Accommodation is cheap but of good quality & most have great security - particularly the newer areas in the Northern Suburbs. There's plenty to see and do and then again its only a hop (no skip needed) to places like Egypt, Morocco, Mauritius, France and Italy. But I'd love to see the Kruger National Park and the Nelson Mandela Museum!

We find out today if the position is his.
