Wow!!
Not that similar BUT, I grew up with my grandparents.....my Grandad was sent to South Africa and I, at 15 went with them for a year of schooling.
EVERYONE there had maids, gardeners, etc, they even still had fresh milk and oj delivered. My Grandparents brought the maid and gardner and their families to the states and helped them get settled and whatnot here.
Wow! Nice of them to do that! My brother took his family to South Africa in the mid 70's for a couple of years. Quite an experience for his kids who were 2-12 years.
