Destination: Ho Chi Minh City
I've read a lot about this topic, but still wonder: should I buy a healthcare package? How about the coverage and the period for the package? I'm considering Liberty Vietnam: Libertyinsurance.com.vn/index.php/en/liberty-products/personal-lines/healthcare-insurance, but I still want to consider at least 2 more agencies for the most suitable solution. Anyone can help? Many thanks,

Hi-

I just arrived in Budapest and found that my flat has no Internet. I'm in a long-distance relationship so I need this service to be able to communicate with my boyfriend. What service providers are there in Budapest and do they provide Dongles (the mobile broadband sticks)? Also is the Internet speed that comes with these sticks fast enough to get a good connection with Skype?

Hi-

I'm moving with my husband (who originally hails from the land of potato famine) to Ireland this July (he's bagged a job), and I'm wondering what my chances are of finding a job. I'm an American with 3 years experience at an online publishing company in the States and would be interested in pursuing something similar. Though, I can do print just as easily as I can do digital. Just heard horrible things about the state of the economy in Ireland. Any expats out there who can comment?

As an expat is it possible to be approved for a credit card in Israel? Up until this point I've been using my US credit card and then paying off the debt with a US checking account; but as you can prob imagine, this proves rather difficult from abroad - especially when you're earning Israeli Shekel...

Hi-
I'm thinking of making Aaliyah, and settling in Tel Aviv for at least the next few chapters of my life. As a recently graduated university student I don't have access to a huge cashflow and I'm wondering what the cost of living in Tel Aviv will be. Is it possible to immigrate, find a flat and a job and start making a decent salary in three months time?
