I have taken a permanent job in Gibraltar, know little of the place, so any information regarding money, rental accommodation, what ex pats do in an evening, anything really. My current plan is to arrive Sunday 27th November.

Heyy All, I hope you're all doing well. From the posts I have read, I very much enjoyed reading about your experiences and look forward to reading the rest. My story is probably slightly different, it all started when I was 7. I was on holiday ...
