Re: PR Approved, our 2 day old baby is not included!

Re: Want to go -where to go?

Yep, see them everywhere. Here in Kenya too. Funny thing is, they call England "that miserable old place" with a longing in their eyes. They bad-mouth England for breakfast, lunch and dinner but...

Re: Possible job offer in Nairobi - need to make decision ASAP

Sorry if this is too late but I am very much in the same position. My wife works here, I don't. Getting a job here is impossible unless you happen to be in a few select fields.

As a man, you...

Re: Living the Dream.......how close to reality?

Indeed. I echo that. I moved from Sweden to Kenya and sure, life here is clearly not identical to life in Sweden but when you think about it, you sleep, eat, sleep, work, eat, go to the looh, shout...

The card number and security number you can get from anywere. Everytime you use your card, the details are transferred and can be picked up. That is easy peasy.

Re: should we stay or move?

Well, there are quite a few places with logistics, near the big airports and ports mostly of course. You would not have to be in London which price-wise makes it better.
