Ek is Cobus van Rooyen. Julle moet nou almal se "hi Cobus". Ek en my vrou het 8 weke gelede Amerika toe gekom met groen kaarte. Ons het gelukkig family wat bly in Fort Worth, TX wat dit bietjie meer gerieflik maak. Of liewers baie gerieflik maak. Ons wil mense van Suid Afrika ontmoet as dit moointlik is. Ons het eers twee weke terug,na ons road trip begin soek vir werk en dit sal nice wees as iemand ons kan connect met enige employers. Ek het as n general accountant gewerk en soek accounting positions. Ek gee ook nie om, om rigting te verander nie. Ek sal nie omgee om by Cabela's of bass pro te werk nie. Nogal cool. Ek wil ook weet of Austin n lekker plek is om te bly. Ek gaan volgende week bietjie kyk hoe lyk dit daar. Is Austin beter as Dallas? Die plek raak nogal warm en is plat.

Groete

Eerste keuse is San Francisco / San Jose California.
Daarna is dit seker oop vir enige plek.

As iemand van iets weet of kontakte het, kontak my ASSEBLIEF - groot asseblief. Sy het haar "Resume" na 'n paar maatskappye gestuur - maar het nog niks gehoor nie - tyd begin uithardloop - en my keel is besig om toe te trek. Ek weet ek kan op julle SAUSA mense staat maak soos altyd.]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:38:11 +0000 http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/6696-opt-training-in-california/ http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/6691-are-you-craving-some-boerewors/ http://www.meatmasterskaty.com regarding quality, and such. A few other South Africans in the area we know absolutely loved it hands down. Some of us have gone as far as to make our own boerewors at home. You cannot deny the fact that it is a messy job. Save yourself the hassle, and try the boerewors at Meat Masters, I promise you will not be disappointed!

I was wondering how about posting some photos of how it look up your street or any nice places in Austin, please.
We will be moving over to Austin in a years time and find it difficult to see photos of Austin to get an idea what it looks like.
I was also wondering if anybody can recommend a good website to get an idea what one can do with young kids in Austin. And it will also be very nice to hear from any other families in Austin with little ones to hear what do you all get up to to tire the little ones out.]]> Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:47:46 +0000 http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/5041-how-about-some-photos/ http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/4578-sa-beer-in-texas/ Greetings! I just found out that it is illegal to import any african beer into Texas. It seems we have to be happy with enjoying Miller products (owned by South African Breweries). I am quite unhappy about this piece of news.

See you there!]]> Fri, 16 Feb 2007 15:15:41 +0000 http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/4142-bring-braai-in-april-01/ http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/4027-thinking-of-moving-to-austin/
I wanted to get a sense of what it's like in Texas, what costs we should figure in our budget planning etc. What are salaries like? We have 2 small kids 4&2. What are the schools like, how does it work, etc...

We will be in Austin later this year to have another look around (we last visited 10 years ago!) and plan to move as soon as possible next year.

If you're planning to go to next year's Texas Potjie festival, you need book ASAP, preferably TODAY!

By hanging out in the Texas Events area, I discovered that the decision had been made to have next year's festival at Lake Livingston again. I also discovered that all the cabins and most of the cabanas have already been booked. So, if you'd like to stay in a cabana, book today. If you're planning to tent, you're probably still in good shape, but I wouldn't wait too long. The number to call is (800) 562-5714.

If you haven't been to the Texas Potjie festival before, this is a great event held every Labor Day weekend. I am not aware of anyone leaving there disappointed. You may want to give it a try...

How many of you from Austin are going to the competition?]]> Mon, 07 Aug 2006 14:49:16 +0000 http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/3239-first-test-potjie-for-the-competition/ http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/2948-lets-get-this-forum-rolling/ South Africans in Austin. After chatting with Hendie, I realized that this could be a fun place for South Africans living in the Central Texas area to hang out and share ideas. So this forum has now become the official forum for South Africans in Austin.

I invite all of you to join in and get the chatting started.

All the best!]]> Fri, 09 Jun 2006 17:12:26 +0000 http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/2948-lets-get-this-forum-rolling/ http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/856-violet-crown/ ]]> Thu, 20 May 2004 03:08:09 +0000 http://www.sausa.org/index.php/topic/856-violet-crown/
