In the process of planning a move to the UK

NaeTeaspoon — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:55:36 GMT

Hi all,

We have decided in our late 20s/early 30s that we want to work overseas. As we are both New Zealand citizens (and my husband has right of abode in the UK) we are planning to move to England next year. We are aiming for London or somewhere in the south of England.

I think the hardest thing will be leaving our dog (he will live with my in-laws) but I am excited to live overseas. DH has lived in England on and off his whole life however I have only ever travelled around this side of the world (mainly Asia) so I am excited to be on the doorstep of Europe!

So those of you that have made the move overseas - what did you find harder than expected? What did you find easier?

TIA :)

Anyone from Australia?

I've been part of the Nest for around 4 years. Anyone out there in France? I've got two children. I've got a 4 year old and a 2 year old. i just started my own business which is an American bakery in the good ole town of Clermont-Ferrand France.

Hello to you all! We are getting ready to relocate our new family of four to Aberdeen. DH has been there setting everything up for the past month and we are getting ready to make the move. We have previously lived in Cape Town and Luanda, Angola and we are very excited to live in the UK for the next few years! Anyone else been up that way?

Living in Beijing

Can any give me information or advice on living in Beijing, China?

DH and I might have an opportunity there and I would like some info from people who have been, even just on vacation.

What attractions would you recommend?
How friendly are the locals?
How difficult is it to get around using public tranpo?
Did you find that most people spoke English?

Has anyone gone through the process of learning Mandarin or Cantonese?
