    Expat South Africans

    Hey distinguished members of HK

    I have recently moved to HK from Johannesburg and I'm on a mission to round up as many expats as i could. Currently a bit cultural shocked, HK was not what i expected working wise. Like duh...what was i thinking. But all will be better if i get to meet some of us who might stil be lurking about in HK.

    The locals are great though, very helpful.

    Where are u guys watching the Rugby Tri? I've got no DSTV. Weldone Bokkies!
