10k would not be enough. I would say at least 18 upwards to enjoy life here. There is not much to do so money will help you to get out and have nice meals, take the kids to the cinema, play areas things like that.

Food is very expencive here but cigs and fuel are cheap. Schooling is also very expencive so if you are planning on looking for a job here or you have been offered one, make sure it includes the school fees. :-)
