OUCH!!

I was considering coming back to Cyprus for my daughter's education.

As a comparison, I have a 200 square metres house and I also rent a one

bedroomed condo in Bangkok (work); total quarterly electric bills are less

than €150.

Of little comfort to you I'm sure but enlightening for me - I'm staying here.

You’ve made a decision on your daughter’s education on one electricity bill? Well done you!

[terrygees]

Yes, I cannot afford to live in Cyprus given the rising costs - borne out by those who live there.

It's cheaper for me to send her to an International school in Bangkok than move to Cyprus.

I don't have a bottomless pit of cash so if you factor in the cost of renting a house etc. you might understand.

When I last lived in Cyprus, pre Euro entry, I could afford to.

Now, I cannot and it's not a decision based solely upon one electricity bill.

Lovely country Thailand, lovely people.I have fond memories of Hua Hin, and the Oriental in Bankok.

Yes, afternoon tea at the Oriental watching the world 'float by' is very pleasant.
