Welcome all,
I am looking to move to Portugal in September for 6 months - possibly longer.

Does anyone have any experiences or advice that I should hear before I go? Are there any websites specifically for English people living in Portugal?

I have a place to stay and enough cash to survive and am looking to get some temping jobs in IT to help me through.

I need advice specifically on taking money (should I open a bank account for example) and where to go if I need help and want to speak to an English person (an advice centre perhaps?) and specifically a good accommodation. May be I would take a house on rent.

I know half a dozen people over there that all speak English and are helping me so I won?t be completely stuck but I welcome everyone?s thoughts and ideas!

Many thanks
