Thanks for that advice, I mainly wear trousers for work here anyway but maybe i should invest in a few more!! How about toiletries - shampoos, conditioners,hairdyes etc, are there products that we have at home?

Also are there any items that you think that i should definitely bring from home, i was thinking about my DVD player? Good to hear about the food selection, it's so difficult to know what living in such a different country is going to be like!!! I am very keen to meet other expats too as soon as i get there as I am a very sociable person!! I am looking forward to this new adventure :)
