We're going to be moving to Jakarta at the end of this month and as a stay-at-home mom of three little ones, I'm going to have my hands full and am just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what there is to do in Jakarta with kids.

We might move from London to New Delhi in September. We have 2 kids aged 9 and 6. I have been searching in the British School of Delhi and apart from the price it seems quite difficult to get a place there. I wonder if somebody have information of other International schools or private Indian schools and if you think it will be difficult, so far, to find a place. Thank you very much Carmen

Hi expat parents

Does anyone have kids (or have friends with kids) at Kings School Dubai? I hear its a good school, although there aren't many reviews of it on other forums. Any comments welcome!

Hi I have been offered a 6mth contract in Jeddah with a $2000 monthly accomodation allowance but getting concerned the accommodation allowance won't be adequate, although it is only myself.. I have read many posts regarding rent and also cost for house keeper, food, utilities etc and can anyone give me an idea how much the cost of living would be for one month for a single person living sensibly ? would a hotel be a cheaper option ?

I'm moving to Dubai next year and there seems to be a lot of debate about which schools are worth it - some sound great but then they get terrible reviews. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Westminster School and the Winchester School - both GEMS group schools - as there seems to be virtually nothing written on other forums about them, which is unusual for Dubai expats! Is this a good sign or a bad sign? Any insights welcome. Thanks!

We are looking to relocate to Johannesburg but have some questions about the practicalities of taking our 2 pet cats with us. We have been on a go see and know that you can rent properties that allow the cats but are concerned on a couple of fronts. Our cats prefer to come and go, catflap or window/door but this raises some security questions. At the least they will need letting in and out in a supervised way. We are also concerned as most properties/developments have walls and (electric) fences so how will this work for the cats.
