Belgium: looking to move:

i am looking to move to belgium with my wife and (possibly child - we are planning now) next september to study my masters. can someone give me an up to date living cost assessment. i would like to live in brussels, but not necessarily in the centre. this is due to the location of sint lukas university. i am british and my wife is korean, and neither of us will be working. if possible, please can you provide me with the following information: average rental 1/2 bedroom apartment food bill per month (1 person) electric / heating / gas insurance (if necessary) cost of 20 minute bus ride any other costs that could be significant. also, if anyone has any knowledge of how to get a job teaching english part time, that would be appreciated. i have 5 years experience teaching ESL and have a valid TOEFL certificate, and should have a CELTA by the time I arrive. many thank in advance. martyn

Cyprus: Moving September 2012:

I am looking to move to Cyprus to study my Masters Degree in Larnaca. I have quite a few questions, so many thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. I have lived in South Korea for the last four years teaching English, and my wife and I feel like a change of pace. We will both be 30 next year, and plan on having a baby before we arrive. I am aware that rices have been hiked in recent years and that a lot of the information given on the internet is now outdated. How much are the following items (approx) Cheese / bread / milk / 4 chicken breasts / pasta / potatoes / nappies for babies... I have been looking at renting a 1 / 2 bedroom apartment for a year with prices ranging from 250 - 550 euros a month. Does this sound reasonable? How much on average do monthly outgoings (for the home) add up to? Am I likely to incur any 'hidden' costs from the apartment? Who is responsible for fixing a problem with the water? Any information that people can provide would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks, Martyn
