My DH is taking me and my DS to Latvia in January to live for 9-10mth. We're both English but my DS has pretty much fluent Latvian (he's lived there before for 2 years), and I am working my way through the new colloquial latvian book.
Although I've lived abroad before, I am alittle nervous about going out with an 18mth old. The one thing I have learned about having a baby/toddler is the need for a good support network (everything else I'm still learning).
So I was wondering if anyone had helpful advice or information about things like:
*is it worth getting international health insurance?
*where is a safe neighbourhood to live in Riga (I don't mind if it is right or left bank)?
*are there any such things as mums and tots groups over there?
*is there any areas of Riga where you find a large group of expats living?
*anything else you think might be helpful/useful to know
Thanks in advance...I know we have 5/6mths to go, but I have a feeling that it is just going to whizz by.
