Please can you email me with any advice at andrean.ferns@btinternet.com Many thanks

  Yael I. asked:

  Hi everyone, please will you give me your recommendations on immigration consultants/companies that you recommend?

  

  Regina G. replied:

  Hi Yael Ie, do you need somebody to help you with your permit? Or do you need a lawyer? Gary Eisenberg is an immigration lawyer, but usually reliable immigration consultants such as IBN and the others mentioned will have sufficient advice for newcomers to the country. Send me a pm if you need more info. Have you seen our website and book? Lots of tips and recommendations there as well. www.expatcapetown.com

  Cindi T. asked:

  Hi there, my husband is on a sabbatical November through to January and we will be in Cape Town during this time. He is looking at doing a cooking course. Most of the courses he has found is either for domestic workers or professional chefs. He is looking for something mid-range, for people who know the basics, are keen cooks that want to learn more. Do any of you have any recommendations for what he is looking for. Thanks in advance.

  

  Regina G. replied:

  Hi Cindi Hilhorst Thomas, there are several excellent classes which are worth taking part in. Browse through our 'food' section on ExpatCapeTown.com, there are several classes I and fellow expats participated in and so much enjoyed! Further there are new foodie tours and classes organised by PamMcOnie of CapeFusionTours.com and read through our experiences here: http://www.expatcapetown.com/south-african-food.html

So I would love to get in contact with people who gonna be there still, or as well. Who know where I can find an afordable and safe appartement in Town. Maybe a flatshare. Who is excited to tell me all about this beautiful place. Who has some knowledge about German Visa conditions for a stay of a half a year... Who just likes to. I can't wait to come and meet all the people within. Thanks, see you soon.

  Cecile N. asked:

  Hi! My husband and 4 year old just arrived a month ago in Cape Town. We are so loving Cape Town but can't really enjoy it yet as we are still looking for a house. We've only seen 5 houses so far. It seems that the agencies here are not so keen in finding a house for us. Anyway, we just might rent a house in the Oranjezicht area. Now, I'm looking for a preschool within the vicinity for my child. I've found Stepping Stones Montessori (Oranjezicht) and Disa Park Pre-Primary School (Vredehoek) in the Internet. Does anyone has any feedbacks from these schools? If school starts on January, will they still accept children in the last term? This maybe a long shot, is there any playgroups or lessons in Mandarin? My son spoke Mandarin while we were in China and would love it if he can still continue with that language. Thanks in advance!

  

  Regina G. replied:

  That sounds wonderful! Are you training for the Argus too?. My hubby did the cycle tour for the first time last year and got hooked;). He said the views along the way are incredible and made up for the tough workout! Anyway, all the best for you and your wife:-) And if you want to add some free info and have some help for expats re: finances, that is very much appreciated. Maybe we should talk? You can get in touch via the website: www.expatcapetown.com . Thanks a lot and take care:-)
