We have been here for about seven months and my children were 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 yrs. old when we arrived. Know that it will be very hot so be prepared for that. I would also bring any medication that you are used to giving to your children bc you may not find the exact ones here. Also if you are planning to put your children in school/nursery, look into it now bc the good ones have waiting lists. The mom group here should also be very good to get involved with. Good luck!
