Thanks for that, I'm not planning on dumping her anytime soon but it's good to have a plan b!! Have been speaking to a couple of chef friends over there already, seems with my qualifications and experience I shouldn't have any problems getting an offer of employment prior to arrival and assistance with visas etc. I know things never go as smoothly as that, but planning on going over for a few weeks in a couple of months to get a feel for the place and sound out some employers.
