Re: 'Reception' classes in Copenhagen

It's a very reasonable assumption. Even private schools here are subsidised by the State. So while fees still vary greatly, there are affordable Intl Schools to be found here. :thumbsup:

Re: 'Reception' classes in Copenhagen

Fees at certain Intl Schools here in CPH are nowhere near as extortionate as you might be led to believe. We pay no more than £250 per month each for our two (5- and 8-yo).

Re: I want to move to New York, how hard is this gonna be?

Xmas gifts for "The Killing"-loving parents from CPH

As the thread title suggests, my parents in the UK are *big* fans of "The Killing". Despite living in Copenhagen for nearly a year and a half, we have remained completely oblivious to the show and -...

Re: J1 stay and tax

I second Caleyjag. I chose from the get-go not to take advantage of the tax-treaty as I figured on being in California for a three-year postdoc. In the end, I was there for eight years as a...

I'm split between the two! I work during the week in La Jolla and spend my weekends in Irvine. FWIW, I agree with the wealthier areas being more arrogant but thought it not PC to mention...:eek:
