Yes unfortunately SA is not the rainbow nation as the media has made it out to be!
I'm sick of South Africans saying "its not so bad"
What is so good about SA anymore???
I have been to Czech and many other parts of Europe. I have walked around at night, not worried about if the car or front door is locked, Not worried if someone will rob me at Gunpoint.
What a great feeling!
The day I can feel like that in SA is the day I will go back but I doubt that day will come!!!!
Michal I wonder if you will stay in czech. Sorry you have to speak so negative on SA. My husband and I are Czech, we in South Afrika 20+ years. Its not same country like 94 lot of different things but it is still happy and lovely place and still cheap. Evertwhere can be bad! Sure you will be back again.
I am a white South African female. SA is not all bad. I am not rich but make a reasonable living. I have a private hospital plan which includes gym membership where I can even watch BBC news. Crime happens for sure. I cannot drive late a night, but I dont want to. The cost of living is lower than in most other countries. Each country has its own problems. Czech Republic is a beautiful country, I have been there. Good luck in Czech Republic.
before moving to another country, first see the language... I moved to Switzerland and had to learn german wich is a 1000x easier than czech. But everyone is different. Also very important is the mentality, weather, jobs and way of living. The younger you are, the easier it is. But it gets lonely out there without your friends,family and language. I really miss SA and family and some are moving to other countries. Better to go to same speaking countries. Leaving Your country is a BIG step...
Thanks Michael, great informative vid. SAme experience wit me now in NZ for the last 8 years. As you, I have no love left for the country. My only link to SA is my family that remained there. I feel for them.
Very good video man, but i just moved to the U.K 7 months ago from S.A havent seen any form of crime yet. Very greatful to have the oppertunity to live here. For every day that goes by the more i dislike the country that has forced me no choice but to seek employment in another country cause im white.
It only get's worse man. It's easier to become racist after you leave. I left loving my country 5 years ago, now I hate every nigger on earth. If I ever win the lottery, I will blow every cent on revenge.
What i have noticed is that were theres a "majority" black population there is trouble amongst themselves wich is true if you cant see it. i dont hate all blacks that is wrong to do. i hate the kaffirs from south africa...and michael you a great guy but you will strongly disagree with me for its a breach to your religion.
I live in Poland with my missus, and we don't even lock up when we leave the house and keep all the windows open on a hot summer night. How did you end up in Cz?
I've been here for 18 months now. Polish is a difficult language, but I know enough to get by. I'm sort of picking it up as I go. I haven't spent a lot of time in Czech republic besides passing through from Austria, and a day trip I made to some old coal mines in Ostrava, but I've spent a lot of time in Slovakia. A lovely country, and nice people.
Have you been to Hungary? I don't mind it, I just don't like Budapest so much. Eastern Hungary is nice - Debrecen and Tokaj especially.
RE: Polish and Czech are hard to learn. English does not have any gender or case. I know exactly what you are going through with the language. About Hungary - Never been, but I have met some people from Hungary and they seem pretty decent.
Slav language also have no article, so it's easy from that perspective. And there are less vowel sounds, so pronunciation of them is easier. But has for consonant clusters, don't get me started. Czech and Slovak have a lot of words that don't even have a single vowel, or only on in a multisylabic word. Polish has a lot of vowel clusters that demand a bit of lingual gymnastics, but you get the jang of it eventually.
Finnish, Estonian and the Sami languages are pretty weird too. I speak a bit of Finnish. Estonian is quite similar, and it is mutually intelligible to a point, but some phrases in Estonian are actually profanities in Finnish.
Howzit bru? I know what you mean. How can you be patriotic about a country that doesn't really exist anymore - ie. a country and society that's unrecognizable from the one of your birth. I'm not South African, I'm from Australia, but I've spent a bit of time in SA. I love the weather and the scenery - it could potentially be a great country, but I can't live in a place where I'm in constant fear of being rolled for the 50 Rand I've got in my pocket.
I understand about your fears and they are somehow true, but is its only South africa that has crime in this world i have travelled Europe with my freinds and our wallets were stolen, i was very shocked man because that not Europe i hear about on the media, i know that there is high rate of crime in SA and we need to see how we can resolve that.
I know what you mean - but I think people can be very set in their ways, in SA the way is that of crime, in other places of the world, the same is true. For me it just made more sense to re-establish myself with a culture who was set in their ways in a good non violent way.
fuck off you squint eyed faggot...should of died in zim you fucken imigrant...sa is ours not your you troll

Citizenship is hard to get, but perm residence is easy enough, but be prepared to learn Czech, if you can do that, then this place is pretty awesome.

Magyars are bit different. Nothing much in common with neighbouring countries in terms of culture, and especially language.
perkele0079 4 years ago
Yes good point. with limited exposure to the Hungarian language, I must say however that it is the most unusual language I have ever come across.
