1st Week

Our first week is next week. I've booked a holiday apartment for 1 week and hence need to get hold of a home within 7 days. Also rented a wagon for 5 days, hence the need to buy a car within the few days we arrive. Still toying between a new or used car...possibly a small/compact car to mitigate our risk or depreciation and other high hidden costs.

Despite our comparisons with Malaysia, cars are not that cheap compared to the US or UK although much lower than M'sia or S'pore which are probably the two most expensive places to acquire a car.

Homes are difficult to decide and decisions need to be made on the ground. Appointments make take a few days to confirm and hence may delay our moving in dates. Keeping fingers crossed.

At this moment, hardly any large luggages except for my 16kg speakers, fragile turntable and amplifier. Hopefully we'll not be overweight.

Having lots of farewell lunches/dinners these past two weeks. Will post more in time.
