After a lot of deliberation, I've decided on moving to Cape Town with my family. Now I just need to find a good area for us to settle in. We're probably going to be able to afford an upper-middle class area, and don't want to live too far outside of the city. Any advice?

I'm moving to Dubai with my boyfriend, and we've heard so many different things about co-habitation, religion and strict cultural rules. How conservative is Dubai? Would love to hear from other expats - will we be able to live in the same flat together? Are there any churches in Dubai? We're Christian and we don't want to hide our religion. Will this be a problem? Can we hold hands in public?

I have just graduated with an MBA and I'm struggling to find job opportunities in New York (which is where I am from). The situation seems to be the same in Europe.
