I moved to Australia many years ago .I live in Adelaide . I still have 6 brothers and 5 sisters in Ireland and try and get home every 4 years.. I so happy you love Ireland. For different reason over our history we have had to leave our homes , in my case to earn money to help my Mum and Dad to cloth and feed my younger brothers and sisters. Still love and miss Ireland

James's sister lives in Australia. We would love to go visit them one day, the climate there is very similar to South Africa. That must've been quite hard to move so far away and leave your family behind.

I'm originally from Scotland although half my family originated from Ireland and I still have family there. I will be moving there after the holidays. One of my friends in England has relocated there from South Africa with her husband and children. I am happy you are safe with your family.

South Africa suffers from power outages and water outages daily, something I haven't had to deal with now for nearly 3 years. I'm so grateful, but take it completely for granted that we have power 24/7 here.

Hi Lucille! Thank you so much for your comment. The sense of safety is something James and I talk about a lot! It's something we will never take for granted. It took quite awhile to 'relax' and stop worrying. I think that constant anxiety and worry stays with you for a long time. Living behind bars and barricades leaves you feeling quite mentally exhausted, that's something we realised after moving here. The stress wasn't there anymore and for the first time we slept in peace.

Rainy dull days can get on top of you here but when you think about it, we are lucky with the weather in Ireland. It never gets to ridiculously low temperatures. Just 2 winters in my 48years (2009 & 2010). We don't get those heatwaves that leave people dead. We get plenty of wind and storms but not to the extent which wipe out towns and flatten multitudes of buildings. It doesn't rain a lot here, it just rains very often. We don't get Monsoons. Then because of all that regular rain the place is so very green and when the sun does come out the place glistens. I'm happy that you have found joy in our mossy forests and woods. Aren't they magical?!?

The forests are so magical. I often send the kids to look for fairy doors. The winters haven't been too bad yet. Coming from South Africa where seasons don't change too dramatically, we have adjusted quite well. The long summer days definitely make up for the dreary winter.

What a lovely positive video. Your list also has a few surprises (like the weather and the postal system!) so it was interesting to hear. I am sorry that you had to leave your original home but I am delighted that you have found a new home here. Did you find the lack of sunshine in the winter months a problem when you first came? I have heard others who come from sunnier countries say that it can really affect you (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
@impromptuimmigrants
@impromptuimmigrants 2 жыл бұрын
I must say this winter did feel quite long and the short days with minimal sunshine can start to affect you. I made sure we all took vitamin d and tried to make the house as light as possible. But even with that there were days when you feel a little low mood wise which I'm sure has to do with the darkness. I do love Christmas though so that's a great distraction!

Just found your channel, I’m also from ZA and moved here a few months ago, I am absolutely stunned by the place, I live in Bray now, I get the train to work and everyone chats to me every morning and every evening, the people are so nice and I think it rubs off on the people who are not from here but like us have moved here because I have meet people from all over the world and they are so nice and friendly too. I am Xhosa and was very worried about moving to a new place but I have never felt so safe and accepted in my life, my wife and children absolutely love it here every day they have a new story to tell about the wonderful people they have met, we were very worried about our eldest going to a new school but she has just loved it and through her my wife has met some great friends, have you noticed that they “ pop” in for a coffee and a chat randomly,no call or plan just arrive? When we moved in ( the day) the lady next door arrived over and said we had to go in for dinner to her house as we were too busy to get dinner and wouldn’t take no for an answer the kids were tired and cranky but she just feed us a lovely meal and her children cheered up ours it was the best thing we ever got. I have to admit I was a bit racist when I was moving here and expected all white people to be negative but it is not at all like that, I am sorry now for what I thought, I just wanted to say I love my new home and my family are so happy that we are living here now, I bought a car a few weeks ago so we could explore more of the country now that the children are on holidays from school, the time off I get here is also a shock. Now that you have an Irish baby does that make you an Irish mammy?

The winter can be hard but I try keep my mind on all the positives and the reason why we moved. Wishing you all the best!

Just came across this so apologies for the late comment. Firstly, we live in Athlone in Ireland (I'm Irish) so your lovely comments are much appreciated. You seem honest/ genuine and for the most part I agreed with your points. The weather....Mmmm...not so sure, however when its sunny in Ireland I agree its stunning, but so much rain 😞 We had a lovely couple from South Africa living next to us a few years ago. I asked them what they liked most about Ireland and they said "Things work". In my experience the South Africans that I have met are so talented and capable so for them living in a country where so much doesn't work, I can imagine the frustration. Providing a safe and secure environment for its people should be the first and most important priority of any government, but alas in SA its a mess. Its funny, when that couple moved next door I got the impression that they were sometimes a little nervous or hesitant when we were offering them help or advice. Its very normal here (especially outside of Dublin) for people to help their neighbours and total strangers to be honest. Thankfully, that's something that still persists. I remember as a child if someone's car broke down near us, the farmers would nearly be fighting with each other to help the stranded person out ! One of the downsides of everything working also is the cost. I'm sure that you aghast sometimes at how expensive things are in Ireland. Sometimes, I think that we are too rich because we seem willing to pay such exorbitant prices for goods and services. The very same goods you can buy in Europe for 2/3 the price. We are so glad that you are enjoying your time here and are humbled that you chose to bring up your lovely family in little old Ireland.

Perhaps as they grow, your family might take up surfing? Its healthy and enjoyable as well as suiting the weather (even if it rains you couldn't get any wetter). Some places like Strandhill give wonderful lessons even for those who can only swim a length or two, like myself and my sons.

That's a great idea! I'm sending josh for some kayaking lessons during the summer. He seems quite excited to try that out. He also wants to try stand up paddle boarding... so I think surfing will be the next adventure to try!

I love the Irish postal system. I live in Belgium where the town tall that is an 8 minute walk from my house, sends me a letter and it arrives two weeks later. Getting packages delivered is a nightmare here, ending up in 'holding centres in Ghent' for months on end. When I send stuff to Ireland, it arrives within the week. I try to avoid using the public postal system as much as possible. Otherwise, I do love it here.

The postal system is amazing! In South Africa there is never a guarantee of anything ever arriving. I don't even send postcards back to my family as it will take months and months to get there. I don't dare send packages as they will more than likely never arrive unless I pay many €€€ for a courier service. I'm surprised to hear that you battle in Belgium with post. Really shouldn't be a complicated thing at all!

Belgium... oh my.....Its like the drunk Uncle of Europe. Everything takes forever, and when you ask why something doesn't work, the standard reply is "Its like this in Belgium". It has to be the most bureaucratic useless country in Western Europe. Last December we notified the syndic of our apartment that there was a water leak in the roof which they are responsible for. They were supposed to fix it in the Spring but it was too wet, then they re-scheduled to July, they didn't turn up and now have re-scheduled to August cos its too warm. They are totally Useless but don't get it when you complain cos "that's the way it is in Belgium".

Hi freelance kate! Thank you so much for your comment. Have a look at www.sa2eire.com you will find all the answers to your questions! I don't have an irish passport. We came over before BREXIT. My husband has a british passport and we came over with the freedom of movement treaty which allowed us permission to live and work in Ireland as EUfam. Things are a little different now that brexit has happened. But have a look at that website, also on facebook there's a page called South Africans moving to Ireland... they are amazing and have a wealth of knowledge.

That’s nothing to do with the quality of the postal service and it’s unfair to blame them for that (no I’m not a postman). That’s happening because the Revenue Commissioners have to collect customs duties on many items that are sourced in the U.K. (and indeed further afield) since Brexit. So blame Brexit, not An Post…

Funny that you say that Mr Postie , contacted the GPO and told them that I would call liveline and tell them about it, and I had the mask within 24 hours, its not about revenue, revenue can take money from you at any time from your pay packet or anywhere else for that matter its about procedure and the bulk of the amount paid was to AnPost for processing it to revenue at Portlaoise depot.

@@peterperry5378 : I bought many different things online over the years from all over the world including everyday household items, clothing, cd’s & records….. from places as far afield as China and the USA and also in Europe. I only started being charged customs duties after Brexit! It’s as if Brexit just kick started the whole thing, when it never raised its head before. So now I just confine my online purchases to EU nations and I discovered it’s actually ok. As far as contacting the people in An Post is concerned, well I think you’ll find in this country that in cases of emergency/hardship/genuine need, Irish people in all organisations will generally go out of their way to do the right thing and waive the rules when something is brought to their attention.
