Hi Alstu, some very good points there. To be very honest with you we are not thinking about bringing anything apart from our clothes and a few valuables even though we have been offered relocation costs.
Regarding furniture, i think it is best to buy local stuff and move on once you are done with it.
I m used to travel an hour and a half door to door each way, pleasure of working in Central london eh.
Huge mortgage to pay off mate, so won't be spending like crazy. Good to have a long term plan nevertheless.
Last but not least, how are the expats treated out there ?
