Nice meeting you Jesper and I think 6 months is a good idea and will give you time to see if you do enjoy the living rathar than holidaying. I actuallt prefer it as you get both, if you can find the self control to stay in or just go out for afew local beers instead of Bangla every night.
I agree with Sef it will be easier to book when you come over, slight prob you will be looking for 6 month accomodation in Jan and quite a few want to charge high season for long time rental but you can still find plenty of place that will offera good deal, I was offered a 2 bed bungalow for 8K, 3 bed house with UBC and internet at 12k and a one room apartment at 5k this Jan.
