I'm glad I came across this thread, a lot of the other information seems very dated and last year's thread is inactive. My wife and I will be starting there in Sept, I'll be teaching a year 4 class and my wife will be working as a TA/LA or some admin post. We're from Manchester, UK and really looking forward to it. Received the flight booking confirmation today and due to fly out from Manchester on 5th Sept.
I haven't managed to find up-to-date information regarding cost of grocery and everyday items. I understand a lot of the electronics items like computer hardware, photographic equipment can be more expensive than UK. It's gonna be difficult for us to decide what to take with us and what to buy over there.
Have you guys been allocated accommodation and if so, what is it like. It would be nice to see some photos.
I think there are a couple of more people starting from UK and it would be nice to make contact.
