Since I moved with my family to a small African country known as Mozambique in May 2009, I had a lot to share with healthfun-ps.com visitors. We left it all behind, my job, our family and friends and the comfort zone. Please go ahead and read below.

Today at 9am is my first Pilates class in Maputo. We drive together with a fried I met yesterday. The class is held at one of the ladies’ homes. And the instructor is a guy in his 50s or... Continue...

There is a club of English speaking women in Maputo. I got their website link from the other website. It was so exciting to find this group’s website. I immediately emailed them. Off course I am interested to join. And today is my first... Continue...

I woke my dad up with a call. He is turning 70. It is wonderful to have my dad so strong and healthy at 70. He never gets sick or weak. I somehow think that their clay was tougher, and ours has a little ... Continue...

In an effort to get a Spiritual home and to get integrated in the community, we asked around for an English church. One of the teachers at the Maputo International School referred us to a church where there are a number of Missionaries and foreigners ... Continue...

There is a group of hubby's colleagues visiting for two weeks. They decided to throw a party for them. A barbeque/ braai by the swimming pool. I have been here for two weeks but I haven't set my foot in this area of the complex. I take walks with my princess and pass a distance away... Continue...

We live in a small guarded complex. I have grown to love the complex and to actually fall in love with the house, my home. I never thought I would get used to this house. I knew that I will fall in love with Maputo ultimately but not... Continue...

The three words I love, shopping, shopping, shopping. Pity I cant do more of it than I wish. I am totally against debts. I indulge in a number of ways like my monthly facial, a dose of reading, cosmetics and jewelry, handbags and shoes, etc. But at the moment ... Continue...

Home is actually Mozambique. We have decided to move out of the hotel into the house tomorrow. The "Geek" has started school and they both need some form of stability and order which the hotel fails to provide. So yesterday we went to view the house. Its furnished ... Continue...

You can have so much of hotel food. The first few days are not bad, but a week of this breakfast id just too much. It's been a week of hotel food, Portuguese TV channels and pretty inactive lifestyle. I have been stuck in the hotel room, being a prisoner to mosquitoes. Everyone scared me about Malaria...

Maputo is actually great. It’s quite laid back and relaxed. Something that I need at the moment. We stay at hotel Avenida. The hotel is close to former South African President Nelson Mandela's house. For those who don't know, Tata Mandela's wife Graca Machel ... Continue...

Life is really strange. I never thought I will be all packed, ready to leave with my family to a foreign country. Maybe I did wish to have a few months of foreignhood, to study, work or just to feel how it is living somewhere else. But staying a good distance and a passport away... Continue...
