Hi guys, I came across expat.com and I was wondering if I could trouble you and ask a few questions about living in Lebanon.
I currently live in Australia NSW and I have been seriously considering moving to Lebanon for some time now. I have 3 school aged children that I intend to move to school there as well.
My questions relate to a number of things like what the transition for kids schooling would be like … eg
- are there all English schools that would be suitable my kids ages are 15, 12 & 3
- have you or anyone you know moved their kids from school in Sydney or the like to an all English Lebanese school ?
- cost per annum per kid
- cost of living expenses in lebanon compared to Sydney as a monthly figure
- Initially I will not be working in lebanon as I have a business in Sydney also rental income as well. I'm not to concerned about working in lebanon.
so basically I'm trying to get an idea of what life in lebanon would be like compared to Sydney. I understand that the economic situation in Lebanon is dismal at best, I also understand that the power is a struggle. However if I could overcome this situation by providing my own power with a private generator also solar. Taking this into consideration and also factoring all of these added costs including schools, power, water car, phones, internet, gym memberships, private health insurance, I'm not adding rent as I would most likely buy an apartment as we go
to Lebanon annually anyway.
Any detailed information or opinions, suggestions or even recommendations as to weather or not it's a good move would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Aloi
