Please can anyone tell me what are good BRITISH style schools in Guangzhou.

My daughter is 6

My son is 5

And where is a good area for us to live. I will be at work during the day so it is very important to me so that my wife and children can socialise with other mums and children and make friends easily.

Many thanks

Joe

Hi!

can someone please pass details of any international schools either in Zhongshan or close to it? It's just me, my wife and 7 year old daughter. We'll be relocating at the beginning of march. Please help, thanks.

Hi - I am also hoping for some advice...

I'm very close to deciding on a move to GZ with my family - which would be about August if it goes ahead.

I have the same priorities as other expats:- I need to find a good area to live and for my wife and our two young kids (3yrs and 3 mths) to make friends easily. Does anyone have any tips on areas to live, and pre-schools?

Also keen to know if it's worth driving (so buying a car) or is it easy (and cheap) to get around by taxi?

And if anyone has experience on living costs for the following, they would be very gratefully received!?

? ? ? ?Rent for a 4 bed house/apartment in good area
? ? ? ?Utilities for the above
? ? ? ?Cable TV - incl. all premium kidsTv, US shows, movie and english football/sports channels
? ? ? ?Weekly grocery bill for family of 4 (western/imported products)
? ? ? ?Nursery Shcool - English and Chinese speaking
? ? ? ?Full-time live in maid
? ? ? ?Taxi ride 10km
? ? ? ?Cell phone - light usage - local calls
? ? ? ?High speed internet
? ? ? ?Dinner for 2 out at a good international or chinese restaurant (incl. wine)
? ? ? ?Private Chinese tuition (per hour)

? ? ? ?Many thanks!!?
