We have spent the last two days trying to adjust to the seven hour time difference and completing some admin tasks for the school. Our bank account should be in place and we have toured both the junior school and senior school campuses today. The school is superbly resourced and things are really well organised.
Tomorrow we meet with the estate agents to start the house hunt. We have identified a couple of possibilities from the internet and are looking forward to getting things moving. The hotel is lovely but we really want to get into our own place. We think we want to live south of the school and travel into the city from that side because we are not really city dwellers. Most of the new staff are quite young and either WANT to be in the city for the nightlife or NEED to be near the junior campus because they have young children attending there. We are in the happy position of not needing either of those things and so can look further afield where our allowance will go that much further. We have spotted one property that is only a few hundred yards from the school front door. We will definitely have a look at that.
I also need to get a car organised but I am not in a rush whilst we are living slap bang in the middle of traffic jam corner. This hotel is in a very busy part of town. It is literally attached to the Mega Mall shopping complex and so attracts cars from everywhere. It is however simply a turn left out of the lift of the hotel and voila, you are in the shopping mall. Take the link pathway from that mall and voila, you are in Garden Mall. There is a big variety of shopping on the doorstep here.
Weather here is very pleasant indeed. Thunderstorm yesterday but so far not looking like any rain today. It's hot and sunny with lots of clouds that intermittently block the sun keeping the temperature very pleasant indeed. After the house and car search? Then comes the golf course search.
