Thank you very much for your replies Britexpat, Wild Turkey and Icapall.

My intention is to do exactly that - lots of research, which has been ongoing for a while and influenced my decision to go ahead in the first place. But I see the importance of constant change and the need to keep up to speed. As of now, I am trying to make some contacts there and already having all of you as virtual contacts is proving helpful!

I suppose as things come to a head, many other aspects of our living there will become clearer.

Thanks again
