Alice Smith is excellent, but if there are a lot of people ahead of you, you could be waiting a long time. If you like the Australian schooling system then you could also consider AISM. We send our kids there (although we aren't Australian), the ... Read More
Reaching Schools by Public Transportation (preschools & early years) by Jonathan_O

A final option is to hire a personal driver with car, but very few posted about this so i assume its not a popular or easy option? (though would seem more trustworthy/reliable than most taxis). A driver is a popular option here, but generally you ... Read More

Sorry, but I agree with Nemodot. It's quite normal for a western expat to earn that sort of salary over here. It's certainly the norm for most expats I know. They bump up the normal salary to entice people to come. Living cheaply while earning well ... Read More
