We are arriving in 3 weeks and will be living in Rakkah. My wife and I, have two boys 10 and 7 years old. We are all very excited and looking forward to the move. We are moving from US.
Hope vpainter and/or others can help answer some questions. I know some of these may have been asked before, just want to get the latest information as things can change.
1. I read on the forum that it is advisable to setup VPN. Any advice on which one, where to get it etc. Will it work for all devices including apple. Never setup one before so looking for advice.
2. My wife has an iPhone with Verizon but it is locked. Should we buy unlocked iPhones from here ($550 for a 5C) or are better deals available there?
3. Can you find PAL converters there? We are bringing our TVs from US.
4. We have a Skype cordless phone, does skype work there?
5. I was told that it is easy to cash your US bank checks there, still true?
6. How much cash should we bring? For how many days?
7. What original documents should we plan on bringing?
8. My wife needs to get in touch with someone from the school, if you have a contact please send it to us.
9. Is it difficult to become a member of the golf club? I do want my kids to start golf, are lessons available for kids?
10. Do we need to rent a vehicle in the beginning?
11. Is there a site where my wife can look up about activities, social clubs, paid volunteer positions, etc
Thank you for your help. Appreciate it.
