United Kingdom: UK jobs:

If you have enough money to retire on without using the National Health System etc you can live and buy property in the UK. At minimum, you can have your passport stamped for a 6 month stay, then go to Europe or somewhere out of the UK (not Ireland) and return in a week or 10 days and have your passport restamped for another 6 months. While there, you can then look into a more permanent situation. Opening an bank account can be a struggle, but it is possible if you keep at it.

United Kingdom: US citizen getting ready for UK taxes:

Hi Not sure about the taxes but one hint would like to pass along--be sure to take proof of your current car insurance papers and you will save yourself about $1500 or more when you insure your car there. You will also be able to drive on your US drivers license until it expires avoiding the 3 part very difficult driving/theory test the UK gives. I lived in the UK for all of 2003. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. cherimstar@msn.com Happy Trails Cheri

Scotland: University:

Hi Emma I am not a univ student but spent all of 2003 living in Crieff, Scotland. My suggestion is to go no matter where you attend school. I spent 14 months in Jerusalem studying with the abroad program from San Diego State and it was probably the highlight of my life. Scotland is truly beautiful. I couldn't presume to tell you where to go to school but be sure to check out the University at St Andrews also. St Andrews is an incredibly beautful city, more so than either Glasgow or Edinburgh. The gentleman is right about Glasgow's transportation being easier but Edinburgh is a more beautiful city. A few other things to consider--Glasweigans are way more friendly than the people from Edinburgh--really true. My recommendation is if you can get to Scotland to view these places for yourself firsthand before you make your decision would be a good idea. They are all so very different. Be sure to get up into the Highlands as that is where the true beauty of the country is. Jaw-dropping and stunning beauty. Happy Travels and Studying Cheri
