Just to add, you will pay quite a bit less for street view vs pool view, low to medium floor vs high floor, within the same condo block. So if you find a condo block you like the street view/low...

Re: Most expensive city in the world

This article sums up nicely what they've done for this survey. You can live a lot cheaper there as a local. I agree though for ex-pats it is crazy expensive. And that's reflected in the way half a...

Re: Newbie, high chance of relocating with 3 children and a dog. Help!

Ahhh the Colbar. We discovered it after about a month of being there. The boys were feeling homesick and we talked about what might make them feel better. Sausage, chips and beans was the answer so I...

Re: advice from those who've been on wait list for schools please

Re: Back but struggling

I agree. Europe is stunning and has so much to offer. We have both travelled there extensively for the last 40 years, and with the kids too. It's good to have the opportunity to travel further afield...
