Expert Info
on 28 Aug 2014
Hi, I am in the process of being offered a job in the Oil and Gas industry, and it is based in The Hague. I have 2 (under 8 years old) kids and wife. 1) What are the best areas for expats to live where there are nice spacious homes or apartments? and the cost/month (rent plus utilities)? 2) Are there Any Shopping malls in the Hague? (like we have in US/UK or Canada)? 3) Are there movie cinemas for Hollywood movies? 4) What is the tax ration (in Canada its 40%). How much tax on let say 140K EURO? 5) Is English schools expensive? 6) How expensive is the monthly groceries for family of 4? (in Canada/calgary its like 1000$/month) 7) is it cheaper if a person lives alone? Will be glad if any one can give me some ideas on these questions Thanks Ali
