That's really nice to read :biggrin: I am anticipating the day I can go back and live there. Never knew Istanbul was held in such high regard, I'll have to visit en route to Aus

Congratulations to you !

What are your requirements? Do you want a beach, schools, shops? If you want cheapest I'd say that rules out the major cities - I haven't lived there bar Sydney when I was young but apart from that, I have read various articles on how expensive they are. I think if you want to be in a big city - Adelaide may be the cheapest option (but still deer.) If you don't want to live in a major city - the bush is your best option.

Have a great journey! Please keep us informed of your new life, I'm so envious!
