This is great people. We really appreciate everyones help.

Is there an area on the out skirts which is mostly British or Western Expats, or is everywhere mixed? Would my wife be close to groups for new western mothers, does anybody know of such a group she could get in touch with?

A 30 minute drive isn't unreasonable i'm doing more than this now, 40 minutes is a little to much, this is our first child so I was hoping to be close to home.

Regards
Dan
