Cape Town has outstanding value-for-money life.

I do not know how to decide on moving the kids by volition / exercise of will. I believe it would be good for them but it would be uprooting.

Whilst uprooting can work out well, but not always. Worked out okay for everyone I know, including self.

The coconut loves it in Cape Town, and is enthusiastically happy to go-go-go.

The jack prefers HK for that is where most of his friends are, and where grandpa & grandmas are.

S Africa is a good frontier-land; but frontier-land sometimes can be too frontier. I do not know any families who failed to thrive in frontier-land, but of course that logic is faulty, because those who failed died off, scattered elsewhere, or hiding in some hovel, but nowhere good.

The experience in Cape Town has been fabulous for the entire family.

We are now in Vancouver.

Coconut thinks it too small, albeit lovely. ‘Small’ in the sense not of geography, population, or some physical sense. Hard to explain.

Jack loves it here.

I shall delve into the whys by discussion with the two kids, if only to know what makes them tick differently.
