diverse habitats, an interactive map
and trails, games, and hints for finding
hidden locations in the gardens.
Supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies,
the app is available in five languages.

BUY
AND
SELL
Looking for a new way to sell your children’s outgrown items and buy age-
appropriate ones?
Expat Resale
(expatresale.com) is a website that provides
an alternative to time-consuming Facebook posts and forums, by facilitating the
buying and selling of gently used items for newborns to four-year-olds. Another
option is
Bakipa
, an app designed for buying and selling pre-loved items for
babies, kids and parents. No posting, no dealing with potential buyers, and no
trawling websites for bargains. Free from iTunes and Google Play.
NEW YEAR,
NEW CAR
Evergreen Rent-A-Car
specialises in new cars for rent or lease.
Evergreen will purchase and deliver brand new and used cars for rental
periods of at least two years to suit the budget and taste of individuals. In
Evergreen’s view, buying a new car is restricted by the requirement for a
50 percent deposit, and used cars come with the risk of repairs, so they
suggest that new expats avoid any hassles by considering leasing. The
Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4A is a popular and recommended model. Services
include a 24 hour emergency hotline, regular maintenance, replacement
of your car during servicing or in the case of breakdown, unlimited
distance and comprehensive insurance coverage. Call to ask about
special promotion rates.
