Hello, all. We are moving over for a year with our kids (and our dog). I'm overwhelmed at the magnitude of the move for just a year, but hopefully it will be a wonderful experience. My husband's office is at the Euston Station, we're applying at Southbank, Int'l Community School, and maybe the Int'l School of London. We're heading over in 3 weeks to scout areas and look at schools. Can anyone help me with areas that would be on a direct tube line from Euston and close the schools?

I moved to Brussels in December last year, yet I've had a very difficult time getting settled. I work a white-collar job, typically 9-7 with very little flexibility in my schedule, and I'm perpetually struggling to take care of my day-to-day errands and shopping because everything closes so early (and opening late). I'd expect this in a small town, but not in a capital city with over a million residents.

Dear All,

I have been interviewed for a payroll specialist job in Poland. Having experience of 5 years I have been offered 6000 PLN net however I am asking for 8500 PLN in hand as I need to save 2500 PLN to send back for my family. Please advice how much should be sufficient for me to have healthy life there considering I am from India and will be coming alone.

I start work middle of August in the Hague and will need to look for a place to rent for myself and my husband. Can you recommend any companies that can help to find accommodation? I have heard that some places charge a months rent as a finders fee. Someone else has said this is now against the law!
 

What paperwork do we need to have and how long does it take from looking at a property and then getting keys to move in?

Many thanks for any help you can give me.

I am contemplating a move to Hanoi, Vietnam in a few months from New Delhi, India. A few preliminary questions can really help me understand the challenges of adapting to a life there:

1. Movement of Household: Does anyone have any experience of moving some household stuff (appliances, furniture, books) to Hanoi from India? What could be the best organizations for this (DHL?)
