Canuck,

Glad I could be of help. Yep - I've got a few Canadian buddies here and they seem to do alright, so international bank access can't be too painful. Given the other comments I'd suggest you'll probably be fine, and can comfortably sort out this end of things once you're here.

If all you do is normal web-surfing then the 'censorship' isn't an issue here - however if you stumble across a Google link which is 'blocked' for some reason then it is 'frustrating'. Doesn't happen often, and I don't think that QatarLiving.com is the place to discuss this further :) ...

Mind you, you might appreciate this free government service with your daughter around?! (I know some parents who do)

Anything else please ask - and I'm sure somebody else will answer before I've even read the post :-)))

- HW
