The needs are a bonded warehouse to trans ship products to other countries not selling in Malaysia. In essence it is a customs duties free warehouse.

So far looked at Sng and HK but having a hard time getting info about areas around KL or close to the Sng border. Bonded warehouse or free trade zone..


Anyone that can help me out with a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.

29 August through 5 September, 2010

The Tour for Life is a tough, classic cycling race. The cyclists will bike from the Italian Alps to Holland to raise awareness about Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and collect money for its activities. Bikers will cover an average of 150 km a day, travelling along magnificent stages and famous mountain passes from well-known cycling tours including the Tour de France. Each team, consisting of 6 to 9 cyclists, will collect a minimum of 15.000 euro in sponsorship money for MSF.

I'm from South Africa and currently looking at going to Fujairah in the U.A.E.

The reason for going there would be a potential job, but even though nothing is definite as of now I'd still like to get some background info.

I will be going there with my fiance, which will change if an offer came through along with my cat and dog (will never leave them behind).

I'm looking at a guide for cost of living under the following points:
Housing /year (for us all, and with a garden)
Food for two + pets /month
Electricity+Water /month
Internet /month
TV /month (I'm an avid football supporter and my soon to be wife loves movies)
Public Transport /month
Renting/buying a car

Then I'm also looking at issues around the following:
Electronic Goodies (TV/Stereo/Washing Machine etc. / where and how expensive)
My wife won't work at first - can this be problematic?
Things to do in Fujairah?
How is Fujairah? I've read a lot about it and it does seem nice. But first hand experience will count a lot.

Any insight will be hugely appreciated!

I won't have a car, and I think I have my housing figured out (for the most part)...I'm wondering what you think should be budgeted for cost of living (excluding the apartment, i.e. food, incidentals, entertainment, tavel, etc.). I'm a student living off loans, so I'm used to living cheap. Any ideas?

Thanks! ]]> Rest of The World Expat Forum JD2010 http://www.expatforum.com/expats/rest-world-expat-forum/32190-student-hague.html http://www.expatforum.com/expats/rest-world-expat-forum/31691-retiring-kenya.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 16:26:02 GMT I have travelled undevelopped countries for 40 years and am familiar with the limitations and advantages of this life. :confused2:I am looking to...

Based on your experience, your life quality (social, diversity, comfort) and cost of living, would you encourage others to follow your path?

I'm an American currently living in Ireland with my Dutch partner. We are looking to move to the Netherlands between June-August 2010. I want to become a teacher. I was originally planning to go the UK for the PGCE in Secondary English, but we always intended to move to the Netherlands after that.

We've recently discovered how cheap it would be for me to train as a teacher in the Netherlands (as I would be on a partner visa, giving me the same rights as a Dutch citizen); however, my Dutch is not up to par. I can ask for things at the table, follow basic conversation and be firm with children (worked as an au pair in Den Haag for 3 months). This is not enough for college or teaching.

I have a BA in English with experience as a writing tutor for both native and non-native English speakers. I understand it takes 2 years to qualify and that I could separate the 2 years, doing an MA in English Language and Culture first. Doing that I could spend the year working on my Dutch as well. We were thinking of moving to Groningen as most of the family is there.

Can anyone offer advice on here? I know there is a teacher shortage there, but I believe you have to have Dutch to teach at a state school. As for the international schools, I would need to have 2-3 years of teaching experience.

Also, is it possible to teach without certification and work towards certification whilst working?

Any help in regards to this will be much appreciated. As far as universities go, I was looking at Groningen, Leiden, Amsterdam and Nijmegen.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance. ]]> Rest of The World Expat Forum kabuk1 http://www.expatforum.com/expats/rest-world-expat-forum/31552-moving-teaching-netherlands.html
