SPRING HAS SPRUNG?!!

HAPPY SPRING DAY!!!!!!

On this windy and cloudy "spring"day in Perth, I would like to send you a message from my heart;
May you today especially experience the wonder of life and the frangrance of beautiful flowers like God's wonderful blessings. I am sure that God will make you aware of the awesome new life and season with new possibilities all around you!
Thank you so much for your friendship, I value each one of you!

...some interesting differences between Perth and RSA.
(in our opinion)

GENERAL:
* Perth has less crime;)
* Australians only have a drivers and passport, they don't have identity books.
* Perth's riverwater is salty and have dolphins! (Christo has seen them three times!)
* Perth has Jacaranda, Gum, Frangipani and lots of other very familiar "RSA" trees.
* It's much cleaner and neater all around the city, river, beaches and parks in Perth.
* Temperatures are NOT the same, although season similar to Cape Town.
*EVERYTHING is much more expensive in Perth than elsewhere in Australia and much much more than in RSA.
* Perth has it's own tv-channel called 9 and there are five free digital TV channels for us to watch.
* Malls are similar to RSA, but RSA wins with better!!
FOOD:
* Take-away tastes awful here and KFC not at all like in RSA!
* Cadbury chocolate taste better in RSA.... reason; in Australia they add more imulsifier.
* Coffee is BIG in Australia, and a Mocha is much better in Perth! Mmmmm...
* We can buy all the RSA-goodies we really love at the RSA-shops.
ROAD"RULES":
* Public transport is much more efficient than in RSA.
* Speedlimits; city/shopping-road/mainstreet that has lots of pedestrian activity and school zones = 40km/hr, residential road +50km/hr, main road/ highway = 60km/hr (some indicated 70) and Freeway speed limit =100km/hr.
* Main streets and busroutes all have pedestrian walkways and cyclepaths/roadlines.
* On your Aus-driverslicense, you are allocated points which you loose with speeding/ fines.
* A Freeway is the same as a RSA-highway and a highway is like a main road, for example, William Nicol would be a highway and the N3 a Freeway (which it actually is:).
*A traffic light flashing a red arrow, doesn't mean you must be careful, watch out but may turn.. it means DON'T TURN!!
* A 'circle' is called a 'roundabout' and it doesn't work like a four-way stop as it does in JHB.. no in Perth, cars on the right have 'right of way':)
* Perth doesn't have any fourway-stops.
* Instead of 'speedbumps' in a busy road, they curve it to make you drive slower.

will update and add more soon:) enjoy!
