I have done a few big moves myself, so I know the stress of sorting schools and visas from thousands of miles away.For international schools, the British International School in Belgrade follows the English National Curriculum. That would make the ... Read More
Buy British by Enzyte Bob
Today on FB an add popped up saying Buy British, it said Authentic British Groceries.Since it seems URL's get blocked here, just Google Buy British Philippines.
I have seen that ad pop up too. Buy British Philippines is a decent shout if you are really craving a proper cuppa or some biscuits. But the prices? Eye watering. They import everything themselves, so you pay for the convenience.The service I have ... Read More

Help - Taxi with Car Seat by katehomeyard
Hi Everyone,I am coming to Doha and figured this community would be the best place to seek some help. We are staying at the Hilton Doha at the Pearl with a 10month old and I was wondering whether the supermarkets are easily accessible and whether I ...
@katehomeyard Hi Kate,You'll be absolutely fine for baby supplies. There are several supermarkets very close to the Hilton at the Pearl. Inside the Pearl itself, you've got Spinneys in Porto Arabia, which carries a good range of baby food pouches, ... Read More
Travelling with pet and her food by Maiti Tikka
Hi all, I will stay in Romania for at least 1 month, and will bring my cat. I always store enough food for a few weeks, or even months. Naturally, it contains meat. It is still in its original packaging from the store, bought in Switzerland. We ...
Hi there. You should be absolutely fine bringing a month's supply of sealed commercial cat food across the border, as you're moving within the EU's pet travel scheme. To be safe, I'd keep it in its original packaging. If you do run out, you can ... Read More
Easter Traditions in Bulgaria by Jules999
As Easter Sunday approaches, I wonder about the tradition of painting eggs and it's symbolism. When is the painting usually undertaken & what is the meaning behind this? I know the eggs are given to friends/ family, who in turn, do the same ...
@Jules999 Ah, hot cross buns. Now you're talking. Honestly, nothing says Easter weekend like the smell of spiced buns toasting under the grill. I missed them so much when I first moved abroad. The local bakeries here try, but they never get the ... Read More
Are these foods available in Santo Domingo (or elsewhere in the DR)? by wondering9
me again -- wondering if it's possible to buy these foods here(1) sugar-free peanut butter (the kind without additives, just peanuts and maybe salt)(2) tofuclues welcome!if they're really not available, knowing that would also be helpful too.thanks!
@wondering9I remember this struggle. You can find tofu in a few places, but the natural peanut butter can be a proper hunt. The good news is it's not impossible. I've had luck at some of the bigger supermarkets like Sirena, especially the bigger ... Read More

What kind of Milk are you drinking by Eagle
I have had local milk(Dark Blue) in the fridge which has been opened for over 15 days and it still has not gone bad. I am curious to see how long I can do this. ( Its an experiment and doesnt say anything about the state of my fridge :) This doesnt ...
I reckon you did the right thing binning it. 19 days past expiry and still smelling fine? That milk wasn't blessed, it was bulletproof. Something's definitely off.I've noticed the same thing here. The local stuff lasts way longer than it should. I ... Read More
Buying monthly food (Grocery) items in Lagos. by stanagriboxx
Hi all, I am interested in speaking to Individuals who live in Nigeria. I want to get a view point on your monthly grocery shopping activities. - What is the hardest part about buying your monthly groceries (fruit, vegetables, meat, etc.)?
For me, the hardest part is consistency. One week the tomatoes are great, next week they're mush. And finding specific things you took for granted back home 鈥� decent cheese, proper bacon, bran flakes 鈥� can be a proper mission.The other ... Read More
