Dear Forum, we are going to Brussels again next Summer. My daughters then will be 2 and 4,5 years. We are likely to live in Ixelles or Etterbeek area, meaning also Woluwe St. Pierre and Watermael close corners are possible.

We will be working in Rue Jaques de Lalaing EU quarter and in Germany, so we need Creche and school if possible close to public transport.

What is more important is that we don´t like to have such a big school, as they are now in a German kindergarden with only 30 children in total! Any suggestions?

I am currently living in NYC and was told that if I am able to move to Dubai, that I will be required to pay NY taxes once I do move. Can any of you help with this?

The same friend suggested that it might be better to move back home, re-establish residency there and then move since TX doesn't have state tax. Anyone?

Hello there We are settled near Murcia and plan to travel by ferry to Mallorca to visit my sister for Christmas - with the dog. She's a 23 kilo lurcher (so not a dangerous breed) - in fact a VERY friendly, lovely dog. But how on earth (without a car - ergo on public transport) are we expected to travel from Murcia to Denia Port to get the ferry with the dog? It seems that unless you have a small rodent or diddy dog, you're not welcome on any public transport. Is this true? Any ideas welcome Thanks
