If you open an account with HSBC in your country then its easy to open up other HSBC accounts worldwide as they are everywhere and even easier to transfer funds between countries. Most other banks are a nightmare to deal with - but HSBC has a global ... Read More

Moving to Manchester - ideas about good areas to live in? by rachaelvr
I'm thinking about taking a job in Manchester, which would bring my partner Tim and I overseas (from the US) for a few years. The job would be in central Manchester, with some occasional trips to Liverpool. My partner and I are in our 30s/40s, no ...

Oh I just spent 2 months in Paris - the best place to get an apartment is lodgis.com - they specialize in short term and long term rentals and are pretty fair / honest people it seems. As for your visa - I guess you have it sorted out already. I ... Read More
