Hi there, My company is transferring me to London at the end of the month and I haven’t had much time to do some essential research. Part of the problem is I don’t even know the right questions to ask, or the right places to go on the web to find the info I need. Here are a few things that I’d need to know in order to get me started, if anyone is so inclined to lend their knowledge: Apartment, bank, mobile phone, international calls, location, public transit, exemption from US taxes, tying up loose ends in the US. Anything else I may be missing? [more inside]

Moving to Indianapolis for 1 year for a dietetic internship. Where should I live? I'll have to drive around to lots of hospitals, but I like living in the city. I am 26 and enjoy live music and brew pub type places. I grew up in a college town, but the campus scene is generally gross to me, as I'm not single. I'm there for 1-year only, so I'll be renting. I'm looking for $500–$700 per month. [more inside]

So we're buying a house (cheap) in Pittsfield, Mass., and will be moving from Peekskill, NY sometime in January. We got an estimate from a Big Mover and it came to thousands and thousands of dollars. We'd love to use the kind of local guys with a truck, careful technique, and impeccable honesty that we used in NYC; does anybody happen to know such people in either city (or vicinity)? Because if we just throw darts at the Yellow Pages I know we're going to regret it.
