    Buying dollars when travelling overseas

    Citygirl - thanks for the reply. I kind of thought that would be the answer but just wanted to doublecheck. :( Very frustrating!

    Most amount of Luggage brought?

    Like everyone else said - use your passport and do not speak Spanish. I was once called over going through customs - I had been in South Africa for 3 months and was super excited to see my husband on the other side of the door - I started rambling on in English and the guy got nervous and told...

    Why do people without work visas think they can come here and find work?

    Question for expats from South Africa

    I am South African. I have lived 5 years in Johannesburg, 10 years in Durban and 3 years in Cape Town. I too am extremely suprised that Johannesburg was rated below other South African cities.

    Has anyone done the CELTA course in BA?

    I did an online TEFL course for 1/10 of the price. Obviously the nice thing about doing the TEFL class onsite is meeting other people but if cost is a factor for you than it might be worth considering. As allcraz said it is definately a lot of work. I think the thing i dislike the most is the...
