I’m from Joburg not San Franscisco :rolleyes:
i heard the only things that come from Joburg are steers and queers…LOL.
how ya doing eddie?
steers queers and criminals it seems.
alls well, things in SA are looking really bleek at the moment. Theres this beeeeg uproar about racism now (basically going both ways), from some recent events, and everything down here are in a complete mess. Honestly, I think give it another year and we might have a civil war …. Or mass genocide or something bad like that.
Was watching a program on Travel Channel about San Franscisco on Monday night. Seems so **** nice to live there now. If only your country wasn’t so strict on immigration, I’d be there in a flash.
How are you doing sir? training going well?
training is going well. i cut most of my students execpt for Iron Ox. he’s the only one showing the most potential.
Iron Ox keeps me on my toes though. He’s so dahm big and strong that he can send me flying. But I won’t let that happen 
Sifu has been visiting us out at the park too, which is great.
although i’m in the process of finishing my first book, i’m working on a 3 part series of fighting with Choy Lee Fut. it’s basic, very general and to the point. It includes all the mindsets and theories and so forth as passed down starting with Lau Bun.
I do feel that the market need more CLF books out there. new and fresh ones.
hmmm student visa to come train???
wonder if that works for kung fu. you run a school over there so you need to come and update, certify whatever???
I meant immigration visa to come live there.
I still have a holiday visa thats valid till 2014, so im ok for a few years still.
Lats year I used my savings to go to China with the SA team to the WWC in beijing, hence me not comming to the usa. Maybe next year tho.
money is tight at the moment, but I miss you guys allot.
Eddie(gwa sow), you need to get Facebook to keep in contact with us.
yea, seems though any time i get to get on the computer i’m here or gaming(world of warcraft is a bad thing lol). i would imagine there would be a way to get residency if you were to establish yourself and show proof that you were contributing to society. but the laws here have changed recently i believe. i have some relatives on the west coast of florida which are in an area which has a high poulation of people who are in not so legal status and always are looking for loopholes to get legal. seems like as soon as people figure a way it doesnt take to long for someone to come up and find out how they did.
Eddie it might be easier for you considering the political unrest in your home country. That could have some influence. It is not like you would be coming off a plane from Iran or something. 
yeah the politcs sux here. Im busy working on a plan, but we will see.
our countrys presidential elections works differently to that of the USA. Here we have a ruling party thats an organisation. The Party chooses a new president and that president then becomes the president of the country once that party wins. So unless you are in the executive of the party, you have no say in who the president will be.
They had their presidential elections recently, and chose a new president for the party. Which pretty much means that the president of the country is no longer the president of the party (until election time next year).
Well, the new president….
He is currently up on fraud charges. While back he was up for sexual assault, and was described as having a general corrupt relationship with some hardcore businessmen. Also, our Police Chief commissioner, is currently under investigation for being involved in a major drug running cartel, all of which was alleged to have been known to some major players.
Anyways, so our National Elections are next year march. There is no doubt that the ruling party will still win the race, as this is one thing that is always sure in Africa. The new president to be, is very much anti everything, and has even been asked in a recent BBC news interview whether or not he is corrupt. His answer was simply something like ‘ show me a dictionary to tell me what the word crook mean, and maybe ill answer your question”.
Either way, things look pretty bleak down here. This place is run by completely different rules than any other continent on earth. Crime rate is high, everything is up, and life is pretty much getting more difficult by the day.
Anyways, Im sure no one really wants to hear about how bad things in Africa are. Im making my plans to leave soon, lets just hope it will work out. My wife may be able to claim German ancestral visa as her grandfather was born and raised in Deutchland, but there seem to be some technical glitches still.
Hold thumbs for me.
