Thanks once again. Arohadxb I will start from scratch and go to a GP. Do you think Dr Anna at Up and Running is a good place to start from ? If I understood well she is also a GP. Feel lost in this place, if I were at home this would have already been sorted. Don't know who's good and who's not here, therefore your advises are very useful to me. Thanks

By the way, a very important thing which I forgot to mention. When we went with the xray and report to Dr Ludwig he assured us that our son does not have scoliosis and that the report was wrong.

Firstly thank you all for your advises and for sharing your own personal experiences. Maybe I should have explained more in detail. This all started at a clinic in HCC. That's where I took my son to our pediatrician. He immediately referred me to the orthopedic surgeon next door. This surgeon ordered a spinal xray and the result was that my son has scoliosis and that later on he will need to be put in a brace. We were shocked so my husband told me to take our son to American Hospital. So off we went with the xray and report in hand. There we saw Dr. Ludwig (German pediatric orthopedic consultant). This time Dr Ludwig told him to undress and stay in his underwear. Immediately he told him that he has a shorter leg because his pelvis was higher on one side than the other. He put a block under the so called shorter leg and everything came into place. So he'll know exactly what is the difference he sent us for another 3 x rays (1 for the pelvis, 1 for his legs and 1 for his left palm). He then came out with this measurement of 8mm. From his palm (hand) xray he could tell us how tall our son is eventually going to grow and calculated that by the time he will reach his final height the difference will be 9mm. He referred us to the technician also at American Hospital to arrange a shoe lift. I was totally lost until I read your feedback. Thanks alot everyone

Thanks for the info katscamel. Although he only speaks English (it is not his first language), at school they have noticed that he does not understand what he reads due to a big lack in vocabulary. He has been assessed and although he is 13yrs old his reading and understanding level is 9yrs9months old, which is shocking. I am sure that he will be lost if he will have tuition with a group of people. It has to be one to one. He is doing really well in the other subjects. Thanks once again for your help.

I would definitely recommend Guinot. For me they are the best.

Went to Maria Dowling for hair colour. I thought I went to one of the best places. I chose an auburn colour and the stylist did it blue black. I panicked and she told me that she can remove it for me by bleaching all my hair which i refused as it will definitely damage my hair. Till this day I am still stuck with my black hair and it will take years to get rid of it as i have long hair.

Ive bought many items from Ebay and never had a problem with the postal system. Thanks for your reply. Do you have the items delivered to your door? If yes, who delivered them as there are no postman here. One last question, do you use Ebay UK? Sorry if I sound a bit s....d but have never done it from here. Thanks

EC is also a good secondary school. My son started there at a very low level in year 7. He is now in year 8 and his levels shot up to more than average. I didn't do much at home with him, so it must be the school. I have also heard good things about DESC. In the end I still think that all schools are the same academically. The facilities are the ones that vary from one school to the other.

Thanks so much for the websites. I got 2 tickets to Bangkok from the Qatar offer 2 for 1. So that is the reason we are going there. We are landing in Bangkok that's all I know. Don't know if we should stay in Bangkok or stay in another place. Will use those websites for sure but i would be very grateful if i had to have some suggestions from you wonderful people. Thanks
