Hi Everyone,

my wife and I plan to settle in or around Adelaide mid 2006 and I am a bit worried about acceptance and racism.
We are a mixed couple, she is malay singaporean and I am german. Any experience or comments?
Cheers,

Hi there,

am not living down there, but I can honestly say that I haven´t experienced racism at all up here (living in NQLD, am german). There are a lot of mixed marriages, don´t think it´s a problem.
You have your visa yet?

Corinna

Thanks for your reply... Just sent our medicals and police certs...
Cheers

hONESTLY i HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY THING LIKE THAT, OR SHOULD I SAY I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES HERE.
I DONT THINK ANYONE WILL BAT AN EYELID. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.DENISE

Hi,

I'm a born brit (indian roots) and lived in Adelaide for 1 year.
I never experienced any racism...only intrigue form the locals who were only to keen to be nice to someone who was from far away.

Thanks, how did you like it in Adelaide? Unfortunately we haven't been there yet?
Cheers

Nice username!

It was 10 years ago when I was 21. I found it really laid back.
When I started work at Arnotts biscuit factory, I had no end of offers from people: "Have u got somewhere to stay?" "Do u need any furniture?" etc

Everyone was so friendly that I was honestly paranoid for the first 6 weeks.

So is yours
