Questions about citizenship through ancestry. TMI on the net! by ChowBella
Hi everyone, My father was born in Malta of Maltese heritage and moved to Canada when he was 12. From what I gather on the internet I am eligable to apply for Maltese citizenship and once granted my husband and daughter can also apply. Is this ...
Hey Phil, That's nuts. I mean, how ridiculously easy! Hopefully it's as easy for a Canadian! Being as the UK is (for now) a member of the European Union. I feel so hopeful now! Thanks!! Read More
Cost of Living in London by Guestposter5841
Hi We are planning to move to London. Got jobs waiting, but we are not yet familiar with the cost of living. After living in Jeddah for 6years (the top 9 in 10 cities around the world with the lowest cost of living), we'd be in shock everytime ...
This is a very, very difficult question to answer. The cost of living really depends on the type of lifestyle you're after. If you choose to rent a flat anywhere in zone 1-3 you could easily be spending 拢1600 a month on rent alone. ... Read More

Severe peanut allergy... by ChowBella
Hi everyone, This question is about Ecuador in general although we are planning on Cuenca as a final destination. My husband has several food allergies, a peanut allergy being the most pressing and threatening one. I've been reading about ...
Thanks for the reply! It sounds like we can treat his allergy the same way we do here. Hubs hasn't eaten anything from a bakery since he was a little boy, anyway. An additional question: Are epipens easily available? Read More

Air quality and Asthma
Does anyone have any information or opinions on living in Cuenca as an asthmatic? My asthma is very well managed as is our daughter's but we do have concerns. From what I've read there is a good deal of pollution (which is expected, of course) but ... Read More
Just how, "conservative" IS Cuenca? by ChowBella
We've been looking at videos posted by Cuenca folks on youtube and there was mention of how conservative it is. In your opinion how conservative is it, really? We are not wild party folk (although we do drink, often), we aren't loud or rude ...
Hi Ed, Yes! We are all those things! At least I like to think that we are. One of the reasons I was concerned was because a dozen or so years ago I spent a year living in Honduras with a friend of mine. We both had our noses pierced and it caused ... Read More

Hi John, Thanks for your reply! I don't understand why so many forum posts go unanswered. Considering this is a place for people to ask and answer questions it doesn't get a lot of action. Oh well. Our current goal is 2.5 years (to move) once hubs ... Read More

Did you lean Spanish prior to making the move?
Hi everyone, So, did you? Our move is still in it's infantile (zygote, more realistically) stage as my husband still has a couple of years left on his military contract. I'm curious as to how many of you took language lessons prior to your move ... Read More

Hiya, We've just started the process of becoming ex-pats. Basically, a WHOLE lot of time researching on the internet, showing our daughter a ton of pictures of turtles, searching for jobs for me via the internet (I'm a chef) and finding little ... Read More
