good point Mzakria - the husband should provide this info and if he has no knowledge he should go out and acquire it - it does seem strange. Also, he will be aware of your person preferences better than anyone.

I would say from personal perspective it is a little limiting here for families, compared to alot of countries, not a wide variety of things to do and the heat in the summer means difficult to take your child (or yourself for that matter) outside. You effectively will be prisoners either in your own home or the mall
