On her list of pros, the woman listed the following:

• Great lifestyle
• Affordability
• Opportunities: career- and business-wise
• Diversity
• Friendlier locals
• Social life
• Lower tax rate
• Less woke
• Better work-life balance

Regarding her cons, Edwina wrote:

• Weather
• Terrible fashion
• Far from loved ones
• Drinking culture
• Terrible hot chocolate

The Aussie also had a "neutrals" section where she listed private healthcare, dating, and general safety.

As Edwina expected, her list ruffled a few feathers, including her own.

Alexa, who claimed Edwina was referring to people wearing floral wrap dresses, shared that she laughed when her boyfriend commented on the video, which got Alexa, and not her boyfriend, blocked.

"She will be wearing those dresses once she moves to Cape Town. Leave her."

@msrahrah spoke about their experience witnessing both countries' fashion:

"She's forgotten Aussie fashion already, as it is non-existent! It's plain and boring here. I shopped like crazy the last time I was in South Africa."

@seipati_suh told Alexa:

"She wants your man."
